CatholicMom Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 There's got to be a website that lists a lot of the available online (live or recorded) course providers, right? Like Homeschool Connections, HSLDA Academy, and the like? I'm looking for an English composition class. I thought HSLDA's Foundations in Writing would be perfect for 9th grade, but it's $395.00!!! Yikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzimmer1 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 On Facebook there is is a group called Jeremiah 17:8 that was started after Landry closed. They have compiled a list of a lot of options. But from what I've seen $395 is on the cheaper end of things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Yeah, that's actually not a bad price for an online course. There is a thread somewhere (maybe Gen Ed?) that lists quite a few options. Maybe something from there would be cheaper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Virtual Homeschool Group - if you volunteer with the group your children will be able to take the online classes at no charge. They usually teach IEW writing. If you go that route, get in contact with them in early summer to get it all planned out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sltress Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I agree. $395 does seem to be on the cheaper end of those things. I see many who outsource all or most of their high school courses and think, wow, that must be quite a big homeschool budget! Good for them! :) I am not criticizing but am just amazed as I try to keep the entire year of my high schooler b/w $500-$800 and I am sure even THAT is even a big budget for some. But at $400 a pop, if I outsourced even just 2 classes I am already at my max with several classes left to cover. I see what everyone else is doing and I will admit that sometimes I feel some pressure that I "should" be doing online or outsourced classes. I guess we all have different circumstances and some feel they have no other option so it's good they are being offered. But personally that's not for us. I outsourced biology this year simply b/c we moved to a new state and wanted to give my teen the opportunity to meet some other homeschoolers. But at $375 I hope I don't need to do that again. I feel we missed out on doing that subject together and I would have done some things a little differently. There is so much out there as far as curriculum that I just feel like, (again, for me/us), that there is no reason I need to go elsewhere.

historymatters Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Excelsior is where several Landry teachers went. They have some good options. http://excelsiorclasses.com/instructors/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counselinggirl Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Not sure if this will help - list lots of providers: http://www.knowledgehouse.info/online.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 O.k. I have started a long list of on-line providers over on the Gen ed board. It isn't polished yet, and they aren't organized into anything yet but there are some sources on there that are not very expensive and some even offer resources at a substantial discount. You might try looking through those and see if anything fits. I will continue to work on it as I have time and hopefully others will continue to post reviews... http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/638806-master-list-of-on-line-classes/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
