Thank you! From the resources seen posted here, I am inclined to piece together my own curriculum, however daunting it may be. I gave her placement test for Beast Math yesterday and she enjoyed the challenging structure instead of rote problems. I'm still hesitant on writing/ history lessons but I do appreciate what's already available.

Dd is 10, halfway through 4th grade. She desires to home school to take better advantage of training times for her sport (figure skating). I hope for her to return to traditional public school in middle (6th) or high school (9th), and work a flexible schedule for her sport thereafter. I like the idea of Laurel Springs, as it will allow her to work independently, while still providing consistent feedback and progress reports. The basic reviews I've seen here is that it is expensive. Beyond the price, would you consider this an effective method for learning? To me it is not wholly unreasonable ($2300/ year), which for an all-in program I see as a price for the efficiency of not designing my own curriculum. I work full time so will not be able to provide all instruction. She will have supervision, but not tutoring, at her locations during the day. This year, the class is using the Mifflin Math serious (Go Math). She is part the G&T program at school for math as well. Her teacher has also covered latin, in addition to language arts, history (early American history), writing etc. Her writing is slightly above grade level, math is grade 5, everything else is on par. She is a strong student and I don't want her to fall behind with 3-4 hours of home schooling per day.
