Rebecca Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 If you wanted a "packaged" curriculum that would serve a college bound student and enable everything to be (sort of) one stop shopping- which one would you choose? My oldest son is a rising eighth grader and we have been using HOD for several years now. However, three years ago or more we stopped using their math recs and went with Saxon. For high school and possibly eighth grade, I think we also need different science (thinking DIVE science programs). What are my options? What have you used? What do you suggest? Thank you! (I don't know why this won't let me change from all continuous text. Sorry!!!) Rebecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbollin Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I went with MFW. We added computer programming language electives. They didn't offer that. and to make cover school happy, we had to do a little bit more Brit Lit in 12th grade even though what we did in 10th grade MFW was enough. It's just a thing with this cover school that you have to do some Brit LIt in 12th. (use cover school to be legal in my state). MFW offers Saxon and plans for it.. and Apologia for Science, which is one of the text options with DIVE. been working for us for one stop shopping. lesson plans for Bible/History/English are geared for student to do more independently and meet with parent.. ps.. I just remembered.. I added a few videos on medical myths to health course in mfw b/c that was of interest to us. just saying we did MFW and only added to it when it was needed for our interest.

Melissa B Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 If I were going to choose a pre-package for high school I would go with Kolbe. I do use some of there curriculum with each child already. However, it is a Catholic provider so may not work in your circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisIsTheDay Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 We went with MFW last year for 9th grade and look forward to continuing this year. We're using Jann in TX for math, and ds took an outside class with a college prof who taught biology to a group of hs kids last year. I'm hoping for a similar set up for chemistry.
