just starting out homeschooling and need good sites to get a full set of the nineth grade cirriculem includind all subjects and quality matters but so does the price tag anyone being homeschooled or homeschooling please send me some info about watever you may know even the little dumb unrecogniseable stuff and what about testing?where do i go?these places must be lagit.

Here are a few places to get you started -

PACKAGED CURRICULUM:
A Beka Homeschool: http://www.abeka.org/
Bob Jones Univ. Press: http://www.bjupress.com/services/bjhomesat/
Alpha Omega (Switched-On Schoolhouse and LifePacs): http://www.aop.com/home/
Sonlight: http://www.sonlight.com/

ONLINE SCHOOLS:
A Beka Academy: http://www.abeka.org/
Bob Jones HomeSat: http://www.bjupress.com/services/bjhomesat/
k12.com: http://www.k12.com/
Penn Foster: http://www.pennfoster.edu/diploma/index.html
Robinson Curriculum: http://www.robinsoncurriculum.com/

I have very limited experience with these sources, so I can’t recommend any of them. I’m just throwing them out for you to research. Best wishes!

And as for testing, we go through Bob Jones Univ. Press and use the ITBS (Iowa Test of Basic Skills). They also offer the SAT (Stanford Achievement Test, not the college one).

    i homeschool both of my kids and I use an online charter school that uses k-12 program. Check your local charter schools and see if you qualify. My son participates of the charter school free of charge. I do the whole curriculum from home and they charter program provides me with all the materials including a computer, printer and monitor free of charge.

    You should Google, charter schools in XXX(whatever state you are in) and go from there. If you need further help, let me know, Im willing to help.
