Rebel Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm asking for a friend. I homeschooled through high school, but did not use an all-inclusive program so am not sure how to help her. She's looking for a secular curriculum that is structural set up similar to BJU or Abeka but is NOT religious in any way. This is for high school and Oak Meadow is not working for her (it isn't bad at all, it's just that she's a planner type person and found herself spending money on something she already did). She understands that structure wise, BJU and Abeka plan out similar to OM (teaching guides, etc... that tell you where to go, what to do), but she's really hoping to find something that has DVD's or can be done on the PC. She's tried: OM, SAS Curriculum Pathways (online, but lacking in structure), putting together programs from Khan Academy and the Zinn Project; using Teaching Company DVD's (which for high school, stink, and for college are excellent but lack the "book" work her child needs), and just plain old public school texts which she's lesson planned out. I guess the question is: Is there a secular program that is complete like BJU, on DVD format, for all subjects, that she can purchase? She is familiar with Teaching Textbooks and is considering either that or another similar program for math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflowerlady Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 What about Calvert? It's not on DVD, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 BJU and ABeka both have DVD or computer based options through high school. K12 is secular I do have a list somewhere of high school options. I'll see if I can find and post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 I think Calvert stops at 8th grade. She needs something for 10th and up. Thanks for replying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaKinVA Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I think Keystone is also secular... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks! My thumb drive isn't opening, but I'm checking to see if I have a hard copy in my files. Sorry, I have posted the list on the board, but can't find it through the search option. I'm going to keep trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 Thanks everybody! I had never even heard of Keystone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 This list is the one I started, not the bigger one which is held hostage to a defective thumb-drive. Read The Well Trained Mind...It has a great list in the back. (Forgot and I'm smacking my head.)
