    I have to say, right now I am leaning towards Laurel Springs. The ideas behind it seem really good, and everyone I have spoken to seems very friendly.

    I have to say, it's very hard to choose. Both have points I love and others I am wary of. A question.... Is Keystone online 'good'? What I mean to say is, is it very interactive, with online activities and things, or more reading and note-taking kind of thing??

    Has anyone used either of these programs? Any input on them would be great. :) Specifically, I am looking for what you thought of them overall, but also if, while you were attending, how the courses looked, and what the work was like. Finally, once you are enrolled, if you take courses at the local college, or at the local high school, is it easy to transfer them? All help is really appreciated, thank you!!!! :)

    Wow, Jaybee, thanks for such a great response! Thanks for so much information, it was definitely helpful, and really will help me with my decision. Thanks to everyone else, too, really, this is all great information for me. :)

    We did look at Clonlara, but the fact that we would have to plan out the curriculum made it a no-go. We want something planned for us, with a little bit of room to move around (AKA the textbook choices), but not have to log on at certain times during the day, or submit lessons at a certain time everyday, etc, because it has to work around my training schedule, and be asynchronous in that sense. We would be using the curriculum through the school - teacher-led, transcripts recorded by them, so that I can end up with a diploma. My only concern with Bridgeway is the Christian element, because that definitely seems to be a really good option. Would the biology be based off of creation and such? I want to work in medicine, and am concerned that that is going to hinder the process. Thanks for your help! :)

    Thanks, I'll look into it! :) Does anyone else know of any good programs/ have reviews of the programs I have mentioned?

    To make a long story short, my mother and I are looking at homeschooling me. We want a program that is flexible, because I am a gymnast and have to train many hours a week, and will allow us to add in and receive credit for courses taken at my local high school and community college later. We would be starting for the second semester of ninth grade, or the first of tenth, and are looking at various curriculum options. We want it to be accredited, and keep track of grades and transscripts, etc, etc. So, the places we have considered are as followed: Bridgeway Academy, University of Indiana High School, Keystone High School, Laurel Springs, North Dakota Center for Distance Education, MU High School, Northstar, and CMA of Arts and Sciences. Has anyone heard of or used these schools before? Do you have any opinions or recommendations?? Any help is greatly appreciated!!
