How much does it cost to be homeschooled?

It depends on the way you wish to approach it, there are some private schools that people homeschool through, and there are chartered homeschools, where the state funds it and your in charge to report to someone from that organization what learning has been done and what standards met, just like a public school in that aspect, the only thing you pay with is time :) For online there's one called Laurel Springs that's international( and personalized learning). If you went of and did homeschooling on your own then you'd be paying for all of the resources, text books etc. but which ever you approach it's worth it!

Traditional homeschool need not cost much at all if you have a good library nearby.

I'm homeschooled and I use A-beka homeschool program. You can buy the books and if you want, you can get video programs for each subject, I have spanish dvd's from A-beka and it's very helpful. If your intrested here's a link www.abeka.com Hope that helps, and good luck! I'm a juinor and have been homeschoooling my whole life! :) If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me!

Like I said EVERYTHING is free in Agora. Agora rocks! I love it! lol! ♥maddie p.s. it all depends on which one you pick though

It costs more than it's worth. If you can't do school work in a resident course then you don't have the personal discipline to do an online course.

Costs vary with method used and can be as low as $50 or as high as several thousand.

The cost depends on what approach and program you will use. In Michigan, you can check the programs and groups here: http://www.home-school.com/groups/MI.html Usually, online courses are not considered fully homeschooled, because you follow a program, have assignments and a time-schedule and tests. You will also get a certificate/diploma. In some states/provinces the online high school courses are free (like where I live). They need that you show you live in that area to provide the service. Some will let you enter the program but if you are not a resident of that province/state you will need to pay a fee. I would suggest you write or call the support groups listed on the link I sent. They should know about the opportinities in your area. Good luck

It depends! I'm homeschooled and my parents payed $150 per semester this year. In years past i have used a different type of cirriculum called ABeka. It comes from Pensecola, FL. I really enjoyed it. My parents weren't my teachers; instead i watched pre-recorded classes on DVDs from the school in florida. If it's something you want to do, then go for it!!!!!!!!! It's worth getting a good education!

There are free online education programs (K12, Inc. and Connections Academy) which are not traditional homeschooling--rather public school at home. However, I did not find these options available in the state of Michigan. Following is the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) information on how to legally homeschool in Michigan: http://www.hslda.org/laws/default.asp?State=MI The HSLDA site also has other information on how to get started in homeschooling. There are private online homeschooling programs which usually are not inexpensive. However, there are also correspondence schools through which you can obtain a high school diploma. Free-ed.net is a site that offers a free GED prep course that will also prepare you to enter a community college. Although you want a high school diploma--not a GED, you could study the information on the site and use it as curriculum for a high school diploma. Following is the link: http://www.free-ed.net/free-ed/GED/default.asp Michigan is an easy state to homeschool in, and your parents can create a curriculum for you to use. The library and thrift stores are an excellent source for homeschool textbooks. Following is information from the Michigan Board of Education on non-public schools: http://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,1607,7-140-6530_6564_35175---,00.html In Michigan, home schools are considered to be non-public schools. In the state of Michigan, home schooled students can join band, take PE, etc. at school if they want to do so. I hope the above information is helpful.
