The HSLDA website also has lots of information on getting started in homeschooling.

Whether or not you will be able to legally homeschool your brother will depend upon the state you live in. Some states require that the parent or legal guardian do the homeschooling. Other states are different, i.e., in my state, Illinois, homeschools are technically legal, private schools; therefore, someone could homeschool my child if I allowed them to do so.

Once you have established how to legally homeschool in your state, there is much available for your brother, i.e., correspondence schools, online schools, etc. There is also the option of a public virtual school which technically is not homeschooling, but rather, “public school at home.”

Following are links to some homeschool websites and virtual school information:

I hope the above is helpful.

Some of my friends used it for their kids, and then when they went to college or public high school they did really well. That was from 3 different families I know of that used it.
