I always can find what I need at the Donna Young site.

The high school version is very good. You could also use this page to help you with the planning.

Think of it as someone who doesn't speak English asking for a New York English program versus a Georgia English program. There will be some differences as in coke/soda, tennis shoes/sneakers, but not enough to really need a program that specific. HTHs,

I can also add that my son has taken classes and really enjoyed them. He is younger but ready for the higher level maths and Jann was wonderful for him. She knew where to push, she understood quickly how his brain works, and she knew areas he would struggle. I highly recommend her. Next school year even my math hesitant daughter will be taking classes from her. We highly recommend. HTHs,

FYI, CW Tutorials are not secular.

I totally agree! My son is taking Geometry with her and he is really enjoying it. She has a great way of challenging and stretching them without them even noticing! My son convinced his "math hating" sister to take classes with Jann next year. HTHs,

:iagree: This was a big deal with helping my dd gain confidence. And it really does explain everything!!! Have your daughter look at it. Even though you didn't like it, your dd might surprise you. Copies are really cheap to obtain. Or check your library. HTHs,

Except for the twin part. We hit hysteria levels with the math competitiveness when mine reached SM6. DS grasped it quickly. DD had that deer in the headlights look every lesson. I quickly lost my patience with her putting herself down and then getting angry at her brother for getting it so quickly. Then enter the 3rd younger child who is also mathy..... Anyway, with DD I switched to Lial's BCM and she basically self taught it to herself. We had the DVT's and she used them maybe twice but she knew she had them as back up (as well as my help). At that point in her studies she was also looking to become more independent and resented having lessons with her brother (2 years her junior but at a slightly higher level). BCM worked wonderfully (except for Ch. 6...BEWARE CH 6....I don't know why!!!) After BCM we went with LOF Algebra which she also did on her own. Now she is working on LOF Adv Algebra and Lial's Intermediate Algebra which I help her with a little more than the previous books. DS finished SM6 and then we tried NEM before settling on Foerster's. He is now using Jacob's Geometry. Basically all this to say...SEPARATE them! You may not need to teach three different math lessons everyday. DS was able to mostly do his math independently with me hand holding because of his young age. DD took off on her own and hasn't looked backed. She actually gained in confidence and although not as quick as her brother she now knows she can hold her own. The fact that they are in completely different maths now has also helped. They can talk about what they are doing without competing with each other. HTHs,

My son has really enjoyed Geometry with Jann in TX. She is a great teacher who really understands her subject and her student!

Motivated? Stretch her? OK! I would recommend Classical Writing. I am not sure where you would place her exactly but if you contact the authors of the books someone will be able to help you. They are also offering tutorial classes in which my daughter has had some success. They are not secular but usually that doesn't mix in too much. I just received an email today that they are opening the next portion of some of the classes. Check here for the details. I am curious to see what other replies you get. :D I am not aware of any other classical online writing classes. HTHs,

I was a little nervous posting my question but am glad I did. Your answers relieve my concerns. Thanks!

These classes look great. I have seriously been considering it but I do have a question that perhaps those who have taken their classes and workshops can answer. I am a secular homeschooler and this statement in particular concerns me...Regan began his education with a B.A. in Christian Ministries. I do not mind religion being discussed but I do mind it being preached; specifically a specific belief as the only truth. The class we are looking at taking in the spring is the Mythology Class which is why I must ask how they treat this. Next fall I would like my daughter to take either Latin 2 or 3. Anyone have any insight? Thank you.

For those in the Greater Seattle Area, The Attic is hosting a College Fair. Sorry for the short notice but it is this Sunday, October 25th, 12:30 to 4:30. Find more info here.... http://www.pnwcollegefair.com/

:iagree::iagree: :iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree: I couldn't agree with you more!!!!!

There is a woman in my state who goes around giving lectures. She also produces material you can use at home. I have heard her speak a few times and she is pretty good. She also has office hrs where you can call her for free with questions. Check her site out.
