Precalculus -- at home with Advanced Mathematics by Brown

AP English Lang & Comp -- PAH

AP Physics B -- PAH

US History -- dual-enrollment at CC

French 1 -- with mom (in lieu of AP Latin so she could take AP Physics without taking three AP's. Hopefully next year she will do French 101 & 102 at the local 4-year college) Probably will just use BJU's French 1 -- I used French in Action with my first dd and I think we're going to keep our French life simple.

 

electives --

Music Theory -- 2 semesters dual-enrollment at local 4-year college

 

and oodles of extra-curriculars to keep life interesting!:tongue_smilie:

Luann:

 

I researched different textbooks and for the Agribusiness ended up with this one -- http://www.cengage.com/search/productOverview.do?Ntt=203294281514688077941329849049855080862&N=15+4294922413+4294922373+4294961718&Ntk=P_EPI You can look at all their high school textbooks at this link -- http://cengagesites.com/academic/?site=4373&SecID=628

 

For the commodities side of things I found a Commodity Training Manual that was originally put together for high school ag programs and was made available by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange for anyone who wanted to learn about commodity marketing. Here is that link -- http://gpvec.unl.edu/files/Futures/CME%201%20Commodity%20Trading%20Manual.pdf

 

I am also researching some commodity trading games for him to do.

At local university:

 

Fall:

College Algebra

Microcomputer App.

Spanish 1

 

Spring:

Spanish 2

Trig

?government/economics/music appreciation/US history?

 

Home:

English credit (mostly derived through literature study and lots of ACT/SAT practice)

Physics (not sure what - looking for a dvd based possibly AP level - any ideas - both boys have completed Alg. 2?)

 

This boy is chomping at the bit to get on to college. So the dual enrollment option is perfect for us. I still have some "great books" that I require they read before leaving home so we'll concentrate on those with both boys this coming year.

 

If you have a physics suggestion I would love to hear it. I'm not too interested in doing online physics...I would prefer something dvd based that we can schedule ourselves. With both boys working and taking concurrent classes, our schedule will not work well for a scheduled online class.
