What are good online curriculum homeschooling companies?

Question

My child is in 7th grade and she is in a normal classroom and I am exploring the idea of homeschooling her. Are there any great online curriculum companies that I can purchase programs from for my child. We are NOT wealthy.

Answer 2

I answered a similar question earlier this morning.  Here is my "cut and paste":

=========

Here are some great places for curriculum:

Rainbow Resource Center (they're catalog is 3 inches thick, with very fine print! They have Christian and Secular items:

http://www.rainbowresource.com/index.php

Christian Book Distributors (mostly Christian, some secular):

http://www.cbd.com

Library and Educational Services (sells wholesale to HS'ers -has mostly Christian but a lot of secular also):

http://www.libraryanded.com

For used items:

Ebay (you'll drown in all that's available! You cannot purchase teacher's guides there.)

Homeschool Buy (you can purchase teacher's guides):

http://homeschoolbuy.com/

Vegsource:

http://www.vegsource.com/homeschool/

Paperback Swap (everything is FREE with credits...I just rec'd a $120 text!!):

http://www.paperbackswap.com

There are many, many others. You want to find out you and/or your child's learning style before deciding on curriculum. You should attend a HS'ing convention to see the vendor halls and all that is available.

Oh, and check out The Homeschool Buyers Co-op.  They have GREAT deals and lots of info on their site.  It's free to join:

EDITED TO ADD:  Why would someone give a "thumbs down" for this answer?  It makes no sense.

Answer 4

I love Timberdoodle for supplemental materials!  I used them 8 years ago when I homeschooled my 3 kids and just picked up a couple of things now that I am homeschooling a teen.

Great people, great service.

Answer 5

Penn Foster is great for high school. :)

I went to a public HS 9th and 10th grade, then transferred my credits, If I was in Public HS Now, I'd bearly be finishing the 11th grade, but I already received my HS diploma, and completed the program.. Going to a Community College now!
