I am looking into homeschooling. Any suggestions on how to get started? Specific programs you prefer?

Question

I am finishing off my last two years of high school.

Answer 1

I have tried many programs to finally end up with the K12 program. I believe it is definitely supoerior to all the others.

Answer 2

That would be something for your parents to decide.

Many programs out there, but ultimately your parents choice.

Answer 3

Don't do it.  Stay in school, you'll find most of life's lessons can't be learned in a simple text book.

Answer 4

You should first check out HSLD.com   They'll tell you everything you need to know like the laws & even curricculum you can use. You should consider joining them as they help keep the school system from harassing you.  I've used Alpha Omega Switched-on-Schoolhouse for my son the last 4yrs. & he really likes it.

Answer 5

First, you need to know that laws of your state: http://www.midnightbeach.com/hs/listlist...

Then, given your age, I have two recommendations: First, look into starting community college now.

Second: read this book: http://lowryhousepublishers.com/TeenageL...

All the best.

Answer 8

Abeka Academy. I use it , and I'm going into 11th grade.

It's really great. You get video's so the teachers can actually kind of explain stuff to you.
