Reefgazer Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 A friend needs some advice on homeschool curriculum and what she needs I have no idea about, so I told her I'd ask here:Is there a homeschool supplier/company that mails you your books/supplies in a box and then the work is sent back for grading and record-keeping by the company? Alternatively, an online program would be workable. She needs a program for both high school and middle school and prefers not religious or not overly religious. It needs to be simple and workable for someone who works full time and is a single parent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnaj Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 This first thing that comes to mind is K12. I know there is Calvert- I believe they are planning on offering high school soon also, but that can be pretty pricey. There is also Oak Meadow.

73349 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Calvert for K-8, Keystone for high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitterpatter Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Is she interested in a Catholic education, by chance? I think Seton has something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Is she interested in a Catholic education, by chance? I think Seton has something like that. She says her friend prefers something not religious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

provenance61 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Calvert is rolling out 9th grade this year. In 2015 they will roll out 10th, and so on for the next couple of years until they have a full HS program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Catholic would be fine. She doesn't want fundamentalist teachings in her school, but she is Catholic, so a Catholic base would be fine. Is she interested in a Catholic education, by chance? I think Seton has something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Thanks for all the ideas! There is plenty of meat for her to chew on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Doesn't Kolbe also have a program? I'm not Catholic so I'm not up on the choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbaeimers Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Abeka academy does have a program where you can send them your work and they will grade if for you and send it back, but it will probably not work for someone who is not Protestant leaning.

morgan Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 We have used Kolbe for high school and you can order all the lesson plans and texts from them and they will keep records for you and grade a certain number of assignments, but someone would still have to take charge the daily work and most assignments. From our experience, it was a very rigorous program and unless the children are independent, self-motivated students, I wouldn't personally use it if I had to work full-time.

AK_Mom4 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Check the high school board as well. There are a bunch of university-based distance ed programs for middle and high school. We used North Datkota this year (NDCDE), but University of Missouri and BYU are also popular here and use a mix of paper and online courses.

bluedarling Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 How about Hewitt Homeschooling? They offer both jr and sr high enrollment, and can taylor the program to the student. (I've not used them, though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
