You have already gotten some great answers about curriculum you can purchase. Here are some sites where you can find free courses:

I answered a similar question earlier this morning. Here is my "cut and paste":

=========
Here are some great places for curriculum:

Rainbow Resource Center (they’re catalog is 3 inches thick, with very fine print! They have Christian and Secular items:
http://www.rainbowresource.com/index.php

Christian Book Distributors (mostly Christian, some secular):
http://www.cbd.com

Library and Educational Services (sells wholesale to HS’ers -has mostly Christian but a lot of secular also):
http://www.libraryanded.com

For used items:
Ebay (you’ll drown in all that’s available! You cannot purchase teacher’s guides there.)

Homeschool Buy (you can purchase teacher’s guides):
http://homeschoolbuy.com/

Vegsource:
http://www.vegsource.com/homeschool/

Paperback Swap (everything is FREE with credits…I just rec’d a $120 text!!):
http://www.paperbackswap.com

There are many, many others. You want to find out you and/or your child’s learning style before deciding on curriculum. You should attend a HS’ing convention to see the vendor halls and all that is available.
============
Oh, and check out The Homeschool Buyers Co-op. They have GREAT deals and lots of info on their site. It’s free to join:

EDITED TO ADD: Why would someone give a "thumbs down" for this answer? It makes no sense.

Penn Foster is great for high school.

I went to a public HS 9th and 10th grade, then transferred my credits, If I was in Public HS Now, I’d bearly be finishing the 11th grade, but I already received my HS diploma, and completed the program.. Going to a Community College now!

I love Timberdoodle for supplemental materials! I used them 8 years ago when I homeschooled my 3 kids and just picked up a couple of things now that I am homeschooling a teen. Great people, great service.
