speedmom4 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 We are looking into using Homeschool Connections and would love to have some recommendations of teachers and classes for their high school level courses. We will be using the unlimited recorded classes. We are specifically looking for History, Lit, Theology, Science and Logic course recommendations. Any info would be helpful! Thank you!

bluebonnetgirl Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) I can personally recommend Kevin O'Brien and Phil Campbell. We had them for middle school literature and history and they are both excellent. Edited March 12, 2017 by bluebonnetgirl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historymatters Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Did you notice they have a new teacher added: The director(or something) of the American G.K. Chesterton Society. So, he should be good. Edited March 10, 2017 by historymatters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never done recorded classes before, only live, and I'm a little anxious about how it will work. My older son has a major surgery coming up and we need something super flexible.

bluebonnetgirl Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) I did not notice the new teacher. Will have to go look now. My DS has only taken live classes at Homeschool Connections. He is very social, so he really enjoys the live interaction of the classes. If it weren't for a time conflict, I would've stayed with Kevin O'Brien for Literature in 9th grade. He is fantastic. I'm still going to try to find a way to squeeze in his Cultural Literacy class in the spring. We will certainly be back next year for history at Homeschool Connections with Phil Campbell in 10th grade and beyond. I just love him. My son is taking a local Mapping the World by Heart geography class this year instead which worked well for our schedule.

bluebonnetgirl Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thank you for mentioning Mrs Hamilton for Biology. Please tell me more. How difficult is the class/text? How do the labs work out doing them at home but online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebonnetgirl Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) I agree that Mr. Campbell is funny and engaging.Will have to try a religion class with Gary Michuta. Edited March 14, 2017 by bluebonnetgirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
