sale

Hey everyone. I hang out with some moms down here who homeschool and they just informed me of the annual used homeschooling stuff/curriculum sale that they put on each year for southern maine. It will be April 12th in Scarborough. I will post the time and place when I find out. I will be checking it out for sure. I guess if you have stuff to sell there is a person to contact inorder sign up (and a $5.00 fee) Anyway, let me know if you are interested in actually selling stuff as well and I will find out the contact info for that person. For all those who may just want to buy, I will put more details closer to the date as I find them out.

LDS On-Line High School (And Grades 1-8)

My dad was telling me about this on-line LDS High School, which now also offers grades 1 - 8. It's an accredited school, and even gives a diploma for completion. It is a private school, so there is a tuition. Though for grades 1-8 it's $485 for the first kid and only $295 for each additional kid. That's at least $4500 less than the private schools around here (and more), while allowing for the home schooling schedule (your own, your pace). It's also about half the price (or more savings) than many leading full curriculum. At the High School level, I'm not sure the cost, I couldn't seem to find it real easy. But you can take as many courses as you want or be completely enrolled in the full program. I suspect that tuition is based on classes taken. There is a form to fill out if you're interested in more information.

Anyway, here's the link. It's sounds interesting in it's way. It even seems as though there are opportunities to get together with other kids "in the school" through field trips (arranged by parents).
