I know this is a really old thread but since I had the same question, I thought I'd share this article I found:
I know our public school "gives" a teacher in exchange for a certain number of VHS seats. They are not paying the published tuition. It's more of a barter.

In reply to the OP, my kiddo did AoPS PreAlgebra, then Ch 1-14 of AoPS Intro to Algebra. Kiddo then tried out the LPS, where it turns out "Algebra II" is largely a repeat of material covered just in AoPS Chapters 1-14. Kiddo is likely to return to homeschooling next year and, despite not being 'mathy', is looking forward to returning to AoPS because it explains why things work not just how to do it.
Last year when we were frustrated with our slowing pace through Intro to Algebra and with the LPS math placement test looming, I was grateful when someone pointed out the sequencing the the AoPS material. In their own class sequence, they repeat Intro to Algebra chapters 10-13 in two courses. Those chapters are really dense!
Introduction to Algebra A - Introduction to Algebra, Chapters 1-13
Introduction to Counting & Probability - all of Introduction to Counting & Probability
Introduction to Number Theory - all of Introduction to Number Theory
Introduction to Algebra B - Introduction to Algebra, Chapters 10-22
Introduction to Geometry, then Intermediate Algebra, etc

Can't recommend a class, but when it comes time to review Heimler's History on YouTube is awesome!

I'm getting ready to do the same thing. Were you able to get admitted?
FYI, I know there's an active forum for APUSH teachers on facebook.

There is only one class I came across for AP French and it was Potters school. We didn’t do AP French, bc we have better choices—he did do the DELF.
Wow, I had no idea such a thing existed. Thank you for posting! We keep half-joking that the kiddo will study at the Sorbonne.

Hi Flatlander, Sorry for the late reply! Figuring out what to buy with Miller Levine is the hardest part. 🙂. I decided that I would rather spend my money on lab equipment, so I tried to save money when buying the textbook. For that reason, I purchased the textbook used and got the cheapest version that I could find. We are using the Miller-Levine MacCaw version 2017. I just got the student version, and I have not needed the teacher's edition. I found most of the solutions to the book online for free. (https://www.slader.com/textbook/9780133669510-biology/). I did not think that the lab manual looked all that great (personally).
I did look at the 2019 and 2020 digital samples online and thought they looked REALLY cool. A lot has been happening in the world of Biology, so if you have the money (and can figure out how to order from that company! hahaha), you might want to go with one of those. I thought the updates were very interesting.
Thank you, that link to Slader is awesome!
Just by happenstance the textbook we chose for Geology is also by Pearson/Savvas and its chapter quizzes are only online, so I'm compelled to navigate the publisher's bureaucratic maze. I'll post if I get it figured out.

A discussion on the High School forum referenced labs from Biology Corner. So I'll compare those labs to Home Biology Experiments and to the labs that go with the Miller Levine text book. The availability of required supplies will obviously factor in ... and I keep reminding myself this is only 8th grade.

Check out The American Yawp. You can purchase a hard copy. There are suggested essay assignments and exam questions, but no answer sheets. However there are amateur recordings of the text on YouTube; I've been listening to them while I do chores in order to keep up with the material.

I put together my own plans this year using Miller-Levine Biology as a spine. We supplement with Ameoba Sisters (YouTube videos) and then we are using Experience Biology (Advanced) for labs, lectures, and weekly research projects. We also are taking this time to learn to write lab reports and are using the Lab Report book by the guy who wrote the Novare books. (My 7th and 8th grade kids are doing this.

I had originally planed to use CK-12 Biology for High School for Spring Semester but as I start to do real prep I'm less enamored. I'm taking a second look at Miller Levine Biology from Pearson/Savvas, because we're really liking Pearson/Savvas' Essentials of Geology.
To use Miller Levine, did you just get the Student Textbook or did you also get the Teacher's Edition? Any experience with their optional Lab Manuals? Did you use the 2019 Edition (Bee) or 2017 (Macaw)?
