I am looking for any and all online class options for my middle school student. I am not looking for a full time program, rather something that will help take the load off of me in certain subjects. I have searched endlessly for a thread listing available options, but I came up with nothing, hence I figured we could all benefit from this one. Here are the options I know about. Would you please add to my list? Thanks a million. Here goes. . . (prices reported are just what came up in a quick Google search). Any opinions stated are just based on my experience. If you have experiences, ple

Hi. First off let me tell you why I'm here. I have 2 sisters that homeschool their kids. While they do that, I teach Art in public schools. One day they mentioned to me that they couldn't find any art classes for their girls to take. They didn't want to teach the art lessons to them, they wanted someone else to teach the girls art. They also didn't want the girls to just do crafts. They thought that this wasn't educational for them. They looked everywhere for the girls and came up empty. There were places they could drive to, but they were over 60 miles away. That's where I came i

It's time to start outsourcing. Trying to stay a step or two ahead in every subject isn't working anymore. Spanish will be the first to go. Does anyone know of online classes that start in the spring semester? I'm only finding ones that have the fall semester as a prerequisite. It looks like CTY might have one, but I cannot find what days it is offered. The only information I can find says the teacher will send out the days of the classes a few days before the class starts. What?!? :confused1: Am I reading that incorrectly? Do people really sign up and pay $$$ without knowing when th

I am interested in hearing suggestions for online classes for 7th and 8th graders. We have been doing Classical Conversations, but we have moved to a community that just started this year and most likely won't be offering Challenge classes A or B next year and I'm needing guidance for my junior high girls. I've read a few things about these classes and would like to hear feedback from those who have used them. Both my daughters love to read and my older child (in 8th grade next year) is very good an independent work and very responsible when the expectations are clear and above grade l

Possibly of interest to some of you. This was mentioned in the weekly email newsletter I receive from About.com about Distance Learning. Here's the link: http://distancelearn.about.com/od/virtualhighschools/fl/How-to-Take-Free-Online-AP-Classes-from-edX.htm?nl=1

I know that online class providers are starting to update their websites and list when enrollment starts. I am looking for a lit class for my dd who will be in 9th grade, but I was hoping that we could all share our online class treasures here! What has REALLY worked for us this year -- Chemistry -- Chemadvantage http://www.chemadvantage.com/ Chemadvantage is run by the fellow who does AP chemistry for PA Homeschoolers. My older son took AP chemistry with him and loved it. This year the teacher offered Honors Chemistry in addition to AP chemistry. The Honors class is truly rigo

Has anyone taken a class with currclick? I saw some positive reviews here for Mr. G's French class, and am considering signing up for that one, but I am a little hesitant about the site and just want to be sure everything is legitimate. It just seems a little odd that it seems so anonymous. Who is Mr. G? We don't even know his real name or see his picture or anything. Every other online class we have looked at shows the teacher's name, their bio, why they are they qualified to teach this subject, and even their picture. I mean, I would want to know the teacher of a class I am signing up

Wondering if anyone has used their online Humanities class? I see a lot of literature listed, which I like but I'm wondering about the format of the class. Is it mostly discussions? Are there tests and papers? Pros and Cons to this class? Also wondering about waiting a year and just doing Wes Calihans class with Schola. Any thoughts?

Are there any group buys forming for the self-paced history? If not, I might be interested in forming one if there is sufficient interest.

I am looking for recommendations for an online calculus class for my dd. She will be a senior this fall at a very small classical school. She was planning to take Calculus I, but there are only 2 other students who want to take the class, so the school won't offer it. They are open to letting her take an online class and giving credit for that, since they can't offer what she wants. I'm looking for something recorded or on DVD rather than live, because she'll need to access it as her schedule permits. I have several semesters of college calc, but it's been a really long time and I don't t

I am pretty set that we'll be doing it all ourselves, but things might change. Can anyone suggest challenging secular options for online classes (of ALL sorts)? So far, I know of: Math -AoPS -Derek Owens Duke TIP's classes

Through whom do your high schoolers take online courses? I've seen Keystone mentioned here. I know MIT has the open courseware. What else is out there? We're not looking for full-time enrollment, but perhaps a class or two per year.

We're still new to the whole online class thing, so I'm not sure how to handle grading disputes. My son took an online science class and it was going fine through Christmas, then it just fell apart. Teacher stopped posting quizzes, lab instructions and homework assignments. I sent several emails and finally received a reply that there had been a couple of deaths in the family and some other issues, but she would get it all taken care of soon. Now the class is over and my son is still trying to get all of his lab assignments so he can finish the class. She recorded his final exam grad

I've heard wonderful things about the EPGY math program but can't seem to find much about their LAW (language arts & writing) program. The handful of reviews I found were mixed. Has anyone else used EPGY LAW program? Did you go through OE or use their pricey tutor? How about the RWL (Reading and Writing about Literature) with LAW? What did you think? Besides EPGY, can anyone else recommend a good online language arts programs? DD enjoys the independence of learning online and loves to read & read & read but we haven't much success with structured LA curriculum. Thanks for

for the middle school years. Maybe include why you decided not to sign up Dc, or why you did. Also if you had a DC take an online class how well did it work for you? I am currently mulling over the idea of TOG LLC Dialectic literature or history and the Lost Tools of Writing online classes. Currently I am leaning towards no for either of these b/c of the expense. I was considering the TOG classes b/c I thought it would take some of the pressure off me, but then, I thought, part of the reason I'm homeschooling is so I can discuss literature and history with my DC, not so I can watc

I would like to consider some online AP courses for my HS age girls for next year. We have access to a lot of co-ops but the drive time and money as well as scheduling conflicts means we can't take all of their outsourced classes that way. I also want to be able to put AP after some of their courses on their transcripts. They are self motivated but I worry if an online course is easier to put off than an in person course. What have been your students' experiences?
