First, I recommend you read “A Thomas Jefferson Education” by Oliver DeMille (available at gwc.edu in the bookstore section). Second, if you are looking for general information on homeschooling, try hslda.org. As far as curriculum, a lot of people like Abeka, as has been already mentioned. Bob Jones University Press is another option. In my home (I was homeschooled k-12), my mom would just pick and choose which programs she liked for each subject. It’s a little more work that way, but often you will find a better fit for the child.

Are all great websites for curriculum. Also look into Elijah Company. They have a great cataloge, but I don’t have a web address for them. Without knowing how old your children are, I can’t really give you many more specific programs.

I hope that helps.

Abeka books are good to start off with and have a strong foundation, but are kinda difficult later on too, and the books are really thick. For Math, use Saxon math, it’s great. Switched on schoolhouse is good for History and English at least-I didn’t like the math, Science was okay-because you can work with your children but you don’t have to grade much, the computer does it all.

Try the abeka program offered by Pensacola Christian College.It is great.DVDs,lesson plans,all you have to do is supervise and grade papers and it is affordable and accredited.

I used to attend Clonlara’s Home based education program. They have students from all over the country and even a few over seas. Here is a link…
