Question

We are highly considering homeschooling our kids. What curriculums does everyone use and why? We will have a 4th and 7th grader but she would be taking all 8th grade classes so I think we would just do 8th grade curriculum?  

Answer 1

Acellus Academy

Answer 2

I'm looking into American School and they are based out of Lansing, Illinois. You can either do everything online or you can do it paper-based and mail it in. They teach K-12.  

Answer 3

We are using Classical Conversations it’s a co-op.  

Answer 4

What you pick very much depends on your personal goals and preferences. Do you want a religious curriculum? Literature based? Classical? Complete open and go, or something that you put together the different subjects? All online, computer/video based, book based? I would look at Cathy Duffy reviews for a start. Her book has some helpful questions for figuring out what your philosophy of education is, and what curricula might align.
