Alpha Omega
Christian Homeschooling
Are you looking for Christian homeschooling curriculum? Alpha Omega has something for everyone. You can find a unit study. They have a computer program that does the teaching and grading. Alpha Omega has workbooks. There is even an online computer product. If you need accountability they have an umbrella school.
Weaver
I have used the Weaver program for years. It is a unit study that weaves the Bible into academic subjects. The academic subjects are Bible, Science, History/social studies, and Language arts. The Weaver also gives some ideas for field trips, health, and art. Each of the five units has material for kindergarten to six grade.
The Weaver is good for families that have more than one child. The Weaver is also good for children who have special needs because it has a lot of hands-on activities.
If your child is not reading, you will need to buy a phonics program. 1, 2, 3, Read is part of the Weaver curriculum, but you need to buy it separate. You will also need to buy a math program.
The Weaver also has a planner that I recommend. Day by Day lists activities for each subject and grade. It is a real time saver. I only have to collect my supplies and turn to the right page in the books.
If you have children in junior high and high school the Weaver has a supplement for them.
Switched on Schoolhouse
Switched on Schoolhouse or SOS is a computer software program for third grade through twelfth grade. I used it when my older two were homeschooled and I had an active two year old. SOS comes with Bible, Social Studies, Language Arts, Math, and Science. SOS also has electives like foreign language and state history. You can buy a complete grade for each year or a buy a separate subject.
Switched on Schoolhouse was easy for me to teach because my child read or listened to the text on the computer and did the activities. There were a few games that entertained my child. Switched on Schoolhouse is updated each year.
LifePacs
Lifepacs are consumable text workbooks. They come in the five core subjects and some electives. You can buy a complete year, a subject, or a single workbook. The workbooks are reasonable priced so you can try before you buy a complete set. If you were to buy the complete set for each subject you would get ten books and a teacher's manual.
I have used the third grade science and the seventh grade math I found it a little easier to use than switched on schoolhouse. I like to be able to read along with my children, so that I could help them if they needed it.
Horizons
Horizon is a consumable workbook for preschool through twelfth grade. It also has a hands-on element. Not all grades are available in all subjects. The subjects that are available are health, math, penmanship, phonics and reading, P.E., and Spelling.
Monarch
A new product is monarch. Monarch is an internet curriculum for children in grades 3-12. It has the five core subjects of Bible, history, language arts, math, and science. There are several electives.
You have the option of buying a complete five subject set or just one subject. From the Alpha Omega website the curriculum looks very similar to Switched on Schoolhouse.
Alpha Omega Academy
There is an accredited distance learning program for those who need or want the accountability. They have part-time and full-time options for grades k-12. The Alpha Omega Academy has qualified teachers who can be assistance in explaining schoolwork. Choose one of the above curriculum then enroll in the academy.
I have used Alpha Omega for years and have been happy with their service.
