Does anyone know about homeshooling?

Question

i'm 15 and i live in nyc, but going to public school here is really hard because kids here aren't that disciplined so i want to get homeschooled through a free online high school, so if anyone knows about one in nyc please let me know, thanks

Answer 1

dont know if its in your area but check out www.k12 .com and yes it is free

Answer 2

My wife homeschools our 8yo and 4yo - and their 14yo half-bro last year here in Va.

The state law says that, other than religious exemption, the instructor must have a Bachelor's Degree *or* present a curriculum that satisfies the state's Standards of Learning.

There are some online curricula available, but I understand that they kinda blow.  Either way, you'd have to get a parent or guardian to back you up...

Answer 3

I don't know about any free courses, but my daughter received her high school diploma from the American School and I'd say it cost me about $1,000.  I also had to provide a tutor for her for certain subjects that I didn't feel capable of teaching her as well (like math and science and art).  It was all worth every penny.  If your parents can't afford it, they do have payment plans.

I don't know if they have any online courses, though.  She did hers through the mail.

Answer 4

I have never heard of a "free online highschool".

If you are looking for an inexpensive way to homeschool, use alpha omega products at AOP.COM they are fairly basic, but you can suppliment on the side.

Answer 5

My children were all home schooled.   I never herd of free home school.  It was very expensive but worth it.  I hope your parents can help you.  Ask them.

Answer 6

with online courses, it doesn't matter where you live as long as you have access to a computer w/ internet...

no, you could not find courses for free.

but you could find them A LOT cheaper than just paying tuition for regular school.

Hope it works out!

Answer 7

What do you think life is going to be like when you graduate from your homeshooling [sic] experience?  You're going to have to deal with neanderthals your whole life - get used to it.  Enjoy public school and learn the lessons there that you can't learn at home with your mommy teaching you - like how to deal with people.
