How much does home schooling cost?

How much does home schooling cost?!?!?

  • -how much money does it cost? -where do you take it through (# or website)

  • Answer:

    That's a big, 'it all depends'. If you want to take a pre-made curriculum which is basically an online school then it's fairly expensive, and how expensive depends on which one you pick. If you go for an autonomous/unschooling approach it costs whatever you want to spend. I tend to get a bit carried away buying books and art materials, but that's just me. There's masses of information and activities available for free on the internet and books can be borrowed from the library.

As little or as much as you want. You can do the Private homeschool or unschooling approach. You can either buy curriculum or get everything you need from the library or off the internet for free. You can also do a virtual online school or even charter schools. There are so many choices out there. You just need to go with what fits your learning style. We all learn differently and at different paces. Just do your research.

-Anywhere from $0.00 to thousands per year. It depends on how you do it. -There is no standard place to call or log on to homeschool. You can do it through a free, public school at home program online, or through a private online program that charges tuition, or through a university program for advanced students. You can do it through a corespondance program--a program that sends you all the books, lesson plans, and materials you need through the mail and you send back your records and completed work for review. These usually charge tuition as well. Or you could do it on your own without going through any program. You and your parents choose the books, curricula, videos, computer software, lab kits, or whatever else you want to use and purchase it or borrow it yourselves, and all you have to do is do the work and follow the state laws. This way gives you the most freedom to adapt thingst o your personal learning style and make lessons interesting and rewarding for you. You can also gear your curriculum to your own personal goals and interests this way and customize it to meet your individual needs. Figure out what your state laws are and what is required of you, then decide what method of homeschooling will work best for you and start gathering the things you'll need.

We make our own curriculum through the library. I make a list of the things we want to study in each category and then we research which books we can get from the library for them and borrow about 80 books a week. So, we spend very little. you can print off worksheets online, some sites offer memberships and offer better stuff than the free sites. Its a minimal charge. Curriculums can be very expensive and the first year you tend to try way too hard, so take it easy and start with just a math and spelling book. Everyone does things differently and you will grow a style of your own in time.

If you use the internet you can find alot of things on here to help out free. You can also earch online for a local homeschooling group, they have sales at different times through the year to get rid of their old books and they also know where to go to get cheap books. They are a great source for local information. Plus it gives you kids your age to interact with as well. As far as science projects I find thoe online for my kids. They love it. Good luck and i hope it works out for you!

I am not sure what State your in. There is a pretty good school called www.connectionsacademy.com It is a FREE public homescool.Meaning they send you ALL of the curriculum, computer, and internet payment (like 16.00 a month) I like it because it is organized, and high quality even in 1st grade...they have foriegn lang, geography..They send you the real deal books and programs...Did I mention it is free!!!!!!. There is another on called K12..itis similar. I like it because if you are super organized it fits..If your not, it helps you to stay on track..They also have feild trips in the areas you live in. Hope this helps.

My homeshool program ( that i don't like ) is state funded and actually gives you money to spend on school stuff but not all of them are like that.
