Pam B Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 We have a very low budget for this next year. Hubby will be going to school and working less. Does anyone have any ideas about 7th and 8th grade online courses that are good, but also cheap or better yet free? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leann_in_tx Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hopefully others will have some ideas that they have used with their kids. I only know of this one from reading about it. Khan Academy is free videos and tutorials, mostly on math, but also covers some science and economics. My husband and I watched a few together to help me understand fractional reserve banking, and I thought that he was a good teacher. http://www.khanacademy.org/ You might look at Currclick.com as well, and see what they have for free.

2cents Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 http://www.ucopenaccess.org/ This site has high school courses but I used them with my middle schoolers. http://www.freelyeducate.com/ Go through the archives and you'll find a lot of great free courses!

Guest Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Ambelside Online, Milestones Academy, Oak Meadow (really a whole year of one subject for $90. Both kids can use the access) Is that cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
