Answer 1

I'm not sure what you mean by 'non-traditional' student but to answer the question about 'best learning program' that is so hard.  

There are a lot of homeschool programs out there that are great and a lot that are mediocre.  

You might get some books from the library regarding homeschooling.  There is the book "Homeschooling for Dummies" which has great information and "Everything about Homeschooling" ( or something along that line ) that is very informative.  

You also might get on some forums or Yahoo groups and  get some advice on how to start.  Some people build their own curriculums but that can be hard when you are just starting out.  

I use Calvert and find it very high quality.  It is an advanced program so it would depend upon the current level of your child(ren).  There might be some homeschool groups in your area that might have some info.  Also check with Moms Club or MOPS  groups in your area.  Usually there are a few homeschool families in these type of groups.

Picking the 'best' is like choosing the 'best' chocolate.  There are so many levels of excellence and also some brands of that one must steer away from.

If you don't mean homeschooling, why did you post in this section?

Answer 4

"Non-traditional" to me implies someone who'd be better suited to unschooling (like me, lol!) but the whole point of following an unschooling programme is that there is no programme!

We don't use any curricula, syllabi, programmes etc so I have no idea what's really out there (plus the fact you spell programme as program and I spell it as programme tells me you're in a different country to me!) but there is so much of that stuff out there that if you look deep enough, I'm sure you can find something to suit your son/daughter....

....And if you can't, you can always put together your own programme.
