  • Homeschooling Resources

    I have searched high and low for something that will work for my daughter, and I've come up with two really neat programs:

    1. Kinetic Books offers homeschool courses (inexpensive) in math. They have video explanations and their lessons are easy to follow. There are homework problems, quizzes and exams built in and everything is graded for you. Grades are placed into an excel spreadsheet to print out at the very end. I get to step in and help when she doesn't understand something, but I'm not the one giving grades, etc.

    2. Global Student Network offers elementary and high school classes that they say are aligned with national standards. So far, I feel like they are pretty good. Again, there are quizzes/tests that are graded in the program. Parents log in as teachers to grade papers and look at grades, etc. You can print out a portfolio of your child's progress as well as create a transcript. The cost for a one year unlimited high school course license is $625. This sounds like a lot, but your child can take as many classes as she/he is able. Again, this ends up being something that you can supplement (Amanda and I are reading classics right now for LA as a book club between us) but that your child can also work on at anytime, anywhere.
