Now this sounds intriguing. I have an impressive collection of writing curricula, but feel completely inadequate in terms of critiquing their writing. Maybe this is the answer.:)

Thanks for the advice. Potter's School and Scholars online both really appealed to me. It seems as though classes fill up fast so I guess I'd better make a decision!:)

I am looking to outsource some of what I do with my girls and I'm hoping all of you can share some of your wisdom with me. I have looked at a number of online schools and I am leaning toward finding a course that would essentially be English 7 and would include grammar, writing, vocab, and lit. Does anyone have a favorite online academy that they outsource individual courses to? How rigorous is it? What other courses do you like? Have you had any negative experience with any classes? Some of the schools I an considering are: Scholars Online, Potters school, K12, Florida Virtual Academy, Keystone. Thanks so much in advance for helping me sort this out! Tanya

Thank you for all of the helpful advice!:)

Very helpful info. Thanks so much!

What made you decide to do Latin Prep I-III, then go to So You Really III? Is there some overlap?

Would Galore Park users kind of clarify how to use these programs? Is the Prep program a middle school level material? would it be appropriate to give high school credit for the So You Really... series? Also, would it be appropriate to use Latin Prep I after Latina Christiana II? Thanks so much!

Would it be appropriate to do Latin Prep after finishing LC II, or would it be too simple to start with book one of that series. Also, are the people here using So You Really... as a high school text? I wonder what we would do after the third book, or what would that equate to in terms of high school credits? Also, Moira, did you use the MP guide or did you do your own thing? Would it be managable for a Mom who doesn't know much Latin to start Henle with this age group?

I am mostly a lurker here with an occasional venture forth with a question. I am needing some wisdom on what to do next in Latin. My dd ages 11 and 13 are finishing LC II this year and I am not sure what to do next. When I looked at Henle, it seemed a bit dry to me. I am considering doing Ecce Romani for a couple of years, and then moving on to a high school text such as Cambridge or Wheelocks. I also thought about using So You Really Want to Learn Latin either after Ecce or instead of it, but I'm unsure of its difficulty level. I intend to continue Latin through High School, so we have plenty of time. I also want a good emphasis on grammar and translation. Obviously, I have no clue how to proceed and would appreciate any advice or critiques. Thanks so much!
