What is a good secular homeschool program that's not overally expensive?

Question

I'd like to purchase a complete kit somewhere with all the materials I need for an 11'th grade year. I've been having a lot of trouble finding something reasonably priced and non religious. If you know of any good complete curriculums please send me the link. Thanks!

Answer 1

"Overly expensive" is very relative.   Do you mean more than $500?  $1000?  $3000???

K12 is a great option and is secular.  The courses are $375/course/semester (0.5 credit) for part-time enrollment ($395 for AP).  Full time enrollment, for six courses, is $6995, but it's 15% off through July 15th, which would be $5950.

We've used K12 for over five years with their Kdg-8th grade courses.  It's a great curriculum.

You're going to find that the majority of online high schools start around $350/course/semester.

If your state has a virtual public school option, then you could attend online school for free.  Otherwise, here's a list of secular high schools online:

I did Home Study International, now called Griggs International Academy.  It is run by Seventh Day Adventists, even though I am not SDA.  I got my diploma through that school.  It's accredited.

Answer 3

I am currently enrolled at "Laurel Springs Distance Learning." I'm not sure how much you're willing to go, budget-wise, but they offer monthly payments, which is what I am doing. Personally, it's a bit pricey, but that's because my family isn't exactly wealthy. I'm in ninth grade and I only took 4 primary classes (PE, English, Earth Science, Algebra 1), which are all online, though you can also choose textbook. I had to put down about $1000 and pay $222 montly. Mind you, I am only taking 1 semester. Feel free to google 'Laurel Springs Distance Learning' to find out more.

Answer 4

There are many that are FREE, options really depend on where you live
