If
you don’t want the headache of finding textbooks and planning curriculum, you
may opt to go with an online home school. These schools are just like the
online learning systems for adults returning to college. It is important that,
just as with a college, you find a home school that is accredited so that their
high school diploma will be valid.
Many
states are beginning to offer their own online home school. Whether they are
run by the state themselves, or by charter and private schools, these online
schools are typically tuition free and funded by the state’s Department of
Education. All states except Delaware, Massachusetts, and Maryland have online
schools.
In
most cases, these online schools are for high school students only, and are
designed to ensure that homeschooled children have the opportunity to earn a
real high school diploma. These programs are also designed to be supplemental
to a complete home school curriculum, not the entire curriculum itself.
However, it is often much easier to plan lessons when you have this basic
guideline as assistance.
This is an excerpt from the book How
to Home School Your Child: Developing a Well Trained Mind: Proven
Strategies for Unlocking Your Child’s Genius with Homeschooling by
