Well if your kid is in High School, he/she can do Penn Foster. It’s a great online homeschool. I’m still doing, and I started a year ago, exactly. 🙂 And I’m just about done. I’m only 16, so I hope I graduate early, at least before my 17th birthday. Another good thing about this homeschool is that you can make monthly payments for a good amount. Like, say you can’t spend like 50 or so bucks on it.. you can go with 30.. Which is pretty good. But after I grad, my mom still has to pay it off. which sucks. But my education is what she wanted the most. Just go to: http://pennfoster.com/ for more info about it.

Contact your local school district. When my wife and I started with our children the school superintendent was very supportive and helpful. We ended up with going through Abecka books in Pensacola Florida. For the books for 2 children and our teacher editions along with the curriculum book it ran us a little over 700 a year. The curriculum book was a blessing. It gave us a structured guide as to how to do this. The first year was the hardest. But after that it got easier and easier. We started finding out that everyday things you do is a way of teaching your children. Such as cooking this is like home economics as well as working with math. You need to measure out the ingrediants so they learn about fractions. I worked on my own car and still do so this was similar to auto mechanics. A trip is also considered schooling just as a class trip would be in the public school system. There are support groups with most churches as well as forums on here. Take care and God Bless.

HI,

One of the easiest places to find information about the requirements in which ever state you reside is to go to the Home School Legal Defense Association website at www.hslda.org .

You don’t have to join the organization, their website gives you easy to understand information, and I think they have links to the individual state websites. You could of course go to your state website and check there, I’m just found that some state websites are hard to navigate and I know HSLDA is user friendly.

Good Luck
