Curriculum

[ApologeticJedi]

Forgive me if this has been covered in another thread, but I didn’t see one going back as far as 45 days.

My wife and I have pretty much always done Rod & Staff for all subjects except Math (which we use Saxon). However we’re really interested in what other home school curriculum is good, and what we should stay away from. Also we’ve interested in what good High School level (9-12 grade) curriculum is available as I believe Rod and Staff only go to 10th grade or so.

Hi Jedi. I've used Bob Jones almost exclusively up until this year. This year, we used Alpha & Omega. I didn't care too much for it. So, next year (8/9th grade), we're going back to Bob Jones. It goes all the way through 12th grade and they sell homeschooling curriculum packs (all subjects but Bible, Art, Music, and PE).

I too have used BJ and I really like it. Their English curriculum is really good if you have upper grades especially their creative writing material. I have also used Life Pac but I don't like what they have to offer for my older kids. But for younger children I think it's fine. A lady in my homeschool group recommended Sonlight curriculum for high school levels. I'm planning on checking it out for next year. I also plan on starting the "Apologia: Exploring creation through general science" also. Really great for high schoolers.
