Wow thank you with all these answers sorry I haven't been able to respond but I have been busy with my keystone work. Anyway thank you for clearing that up about the English that had me worried a bit. I must have confused everyone saying I didn't learn anything in that class I didn't but then when summertime came around a got an Algebra book that covered all of algebra 1 and algebra 2 and relearned everything with help from my mom I understood everything that I why I am not worried about taking Algebra 2 along with AP Chemistry. Also have been watching lecture videos for AP Chemistry and I pretty much understand everything (I learn much better reading the text). As for standardized testing I am going to take the PSAT this October plenty of AP Test and maybe a few SAT 2 tests.

Thanks nynyny but i tend to skip the prerequisite and just go up to the next level I was thinking of doing that and maybe supplementing it with ck12.com and Khan academy videos. Maybe I ill just go with an online course.

I live in Florida and thank you anyway but k12 follows the same rules and i believe $400 without materials is to much considering how many things you could with ie science experiment kits, different texts

Do you think that if I did Spectrum Chemistry and the supplement with flex books and videos I could be ready for the AP exam?

Tell me about it I was on the phone with a representative for an HOUR !!! repeatedly saying that my sister had been home schooled the previous year and was told that was no problem next day I get a call saying it is very much a problem and wont work. I was not a happy camper.:angry: Are there any more curriculum recommendations ?

Thank You so much I was looking at Lial's but keep going back to Saxon maybe I will do some more research on Lial's . I am really hoping to find a perfect curriculum by August 20 so that I can have evrything in by August 31 when I plan to start. Oh ! I have one question I plan on taking AP Lit this year and AP Lang the next but this leaves me wondering what will I do for credits in 12th also I will be skipping English 2 :tongue_smilie:

Keystone AP Chemistry FLVS AP Chemistry

Thank You so much I am not familiar with the format of Saxon but I pretty much not familiar with any format of math :D. I have been in public school up until 8th grade and it was math suicide! The teacher covered almost 17 chapters and 1 semester because we had fallen behind in class due to other kids.:glare: I almost died not to mention I missed a month and a half due to an illness. I can honestly say I left that math class not remembering a thing I passed with a B but I didn't truly understand the material. I am probably going with saxon because I am thinking I just need to look at math from a different perspective If I hate it i wont use it again. I found this curriculum for chemistry that looked so good its called spectrum Chemistry. It has like 30 labs and I read samples of the text and the information just clicked! but then I started reading on this board that it did not cover enough information for AP Chemistry which is what I need to take this year I was kinda hoping I could supplement it with something else to make it work. but if I cant I will have to take an online course. I am most likely to take AP Euro with FLVS since it is free.

Hello I recently was reading some old forums and found the curriculum for Chem : The Spectrum Chemistry and to say i fell in love with it is an understatement :lol:. Now I was originally planning on taking an online AP course but was thinking would a college like Yale look down on me doing this kind of curriculum but then taking the AP test at the end of the year?

bump? anymore advice :confused:

- I was hoping for a secular program but I would not mind having some bible studies - We will teach her the material but she can work for hours independently except for the occasional question. - We are researching for books for every subject we would like a full curriculum but having a different book for every subject would be fine. i.e. Saxon for math , time4 learning for science etc. I did try to sign her up for connections academy but unfortunately you have to be enrolled in public school the year before to attend for free for this year. Weird rule i tried everything but they just don't give :glare:

Hello I am trying to find the best curriculum possible for my sister who is going into 4th grade. We did life pac this year and supplemented it with time4learning.com. I found that life pac lacks especially the math there is like no explanation to read. As for the science life pac it has way to many experiments I mean I love doing experiments but there's like 1 every 10 pages which is way to much as far as money for supplies and the mess:lol: Time4learning was good but not for a full curriculum if you know what I mean. I have heard of Saxon and Singapore which one do you guys recommend?

Thank you so much Lori D. I was also wondering does anybody have any experience with Saxon math for Algebra 2? I want to go for it but I am nervous I will not be getting everything I need or how colleges will look at it.:confused:

Thank You so much for responding the websites you gave me were wonderful! I loved the free ones I think I am still between Saxon and Kinetic. These three look like wonderful additions to a curriculum - Khan Academy -- free - ALEKS -- for a fee - Math Relief -- for a fee Do you have any idea how I can make transcripts for this year? Do I need to go under an umbrella school or something of the sort or can I do it on my own. My interests lie in the scientific field. I am going to be taking the psat this October at my local high school. As far as finding a homeschooling group in my area that has proved to be difficult but I have found some that I am interested also my neighbor home schools and she is my age :) I am also registered with college board they are an amazing site. As for the community college it is provided free for home schoolers which is wonderful. I only have to pay for the books so I plan on taking some there. Does anybody have any experience with Saxon for algebra 2?

Hello I am currently a rising Sophomore and this year I decided to home school because my family travels alot. Since it was my first year I wanted something reputable that generated transcripts for me. So I decided to go with Keystone Online School. It is a wonderful school but I have come to realize that my schooling does not have to be so structured this year I took. AP World History Honors Biology Honors English 1 Geometry Spanish 2 Digital Media The courses was cool and the idea of everything being in one place is nice but I don't like that to much anymore and bedsides they are not the cheapest curriculum. So I started exploring my options and came up with the following. 1. Take classes at the local community college i.e. dual enrollment 2. Use FLVS for some of my courses . (Maybe seems kinda public school) 3. Keystone classes 4. Saxon Math Any other ideas on what I can do science is my favorite subject and I am really good at writing essays and poems so English is also pretty easy for me. Math is not my strong suit but when I can work at my own pace and study with different methods I can do well. I plan on taking a very rigourous course load this year and if I stay with keystone this is what my schedule will look like AP European History AP Chemistry AP Lit and Comp AP Environmental Science Honors Algebra 2 Spanish 3 I will also be taking dance 3 times a week for an hour and volunteering and the local dog rescue. Any tips or ideas would be wonderful :bigear:
