I am homeschooling my 4 children. If you have used both, could you please tell me what are the differences in the Abeka & BJU curriculum? Differences In the parent guides/lesson plans, student work, etc.

Please no comments about how homeschooling is wrong, you don’t know my situation, and it is the best answer for our family.

I am currently being home-schooled but I am doing my work online through the school board in the county I live in. The software I am using is called Odyssey Ware. I go to the high school I use to attend before I got in trouble and take the test after I finish a unit. Since I live in Florida I also have to take the FCAT so I will be going to the school and taking the test with the rest of the student’s in my grade or in my homeroom class. It’s actually better and cheaper to do it online.

It’s pretty much the same as home-schooling and you do learn more than you would in the public school. You will probably have a schedule that you would have to follow but you would still work at your own pace. They would just give you the assignments that were due that week and you would have a week to finish them. But it really depends on where you live and what grade your children are in. But I would also say that public school is the best school.
