I will keep that in mind when looking for an online alternative high school program for my son soon. I think he should still continue getting an online education in the next few years just to make sure that he will be safe during the latter parts of the pandemic.

Thank you for suggesting that. I’ve noticed that the bloggers never really point to one specific thing and As a parent who’s trying to homeschool my 10th grader (haven’t Started yet I just withdrew her from public school yesterday ) I go to the blogs and these people think I actually know what they’re talking about haha I’m so so so lost 🙁

Most of their curriculum is BJU Press, but there is freedom in choosing electives. My 9th grader is doing an online Sign Language class, for example. I like it because I don’t have to keep up with transcripts and GPA. It’s also great because every dollar I spend, $.50 goes toward going to Bob Jones University if that’s where my child wants to go to college. It’s like homeschooling for half price. It’s called “cash for college”. We have saved thousands of dollars with 3 kids. So far my success rate has been 2 very successful college college students with GPAs over 3.5.

I have spent many, many hours researching and planning his high school coursework. He is interested in engineering and I want to make sure he is ready for college. We are Catholic and I will be using mostly Catholic/Christian resources. I won’t list it, but he will study religion every year.
