AimeeM Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 There are other options! 1. What is your budget? Some state virtual schools are free; a boxed curriculum otherwise can be pricey. 2. Are you looking for a secular, Catholic, Protestant, (or otherwise) boxed curriculum? You have Calvert (secular), Abeka (Protestant), Sonlight (Protestant), CHC (Catholic), Memoria Press (Christian/Non Denominational).... there are tons!

Calvert is a wonderful option for beginning homeschool families, in my opinion. You get the complete curriculum, as well as teacher services (they will grade the work for you and be available for help whenever its needed) for around $1,000 (choose the option with ATS). http://homeschool.calvertschool.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AimeeM Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 for virignia I only found k12 and calvert so nice to know about calvert :) I'm not sure what you mean. If you homeschool privately, you can use any curriculum (doesn't need to be state specific). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoObvious Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Is there a reason you are looking for a charter or boxed program? You don't need much for kindergarten, and the things I would be looking for don't come in a box or online. :) Classes, art projects, playgroups, park days, etc. are what will probably fill your days. Find a simple reading program (like the Ordinary Parents Guide) and lots of hands-on math activities. You can print out your own handwriting/copywork pages if your child is ready to write. Kindergarten won't cost much at all. Although, if I had the money for private school, I could do some AMAZING things in our homeschool (trips, classes, projects, etc)! Have fun! Kindergarten is wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
