How much is it to get homeschooled?

  • Answer:

    Hi, You can actually homeschool for as little as it costs to run your computer on the internet, printer ink, paper, and research hours to create your own curriculum. So if you are looking for a cheaper way, this is the way to go. It can also be as expensive as you want it to be if you buy all teacher's guides, student books and optional supplies. There are also correspondence schools that test and grade your child and do all the record keeping for you. Last year we homeschooled our daughter and it ran about $1000 for the year. We used Calvert which is corresondence. they sent me a huge box with everything I needed including tests. In my opinion homeschooling is cheap compared to the $1000 we put out every other month now for her private school education. If I were you I would join some yahoo homeschool groups. You can also contact your local dept of education to see what your state requires. Homeschool laws vary from state to state. I hope I was able to help :)

Depending on the state in which you live, and the curriculum that is chosen it can be anywhere from $0 - $1000.00. Contact your state Department of Education for the applications and guidelines. The person doing the teaching may have to have a certain educational level to teach, a tutor may be necessary and materials may need to be added. I have done this and my daughter is homeschooling her son. I has been worth every nickle. Good luck.

Very vague question...it can cost anywhere from nothing to a few thousand dollars. If you go through your local school (some states allow this), or an organization like k-12.com (some states are free) it could be free. However, if you go with an accredited distance education curriculum, it can be a few thousand dollars, depending on how many years of highschool you have left.

Well, that would entirely depend on who you have enrolled with, and the curriculum (all or just some). I know Abeka is about 2,000, and after completion you get 500 back b/c that was just an insurance fee, so their real cost is 1,500, but you have to pay for insurance, it is mandatory. And Seton is pretty reasonable; high school was like 1,000.

It depends on how much you are willing to pay like my mom homeschools me and she doesn't pay that much for my books because she gets alot of them from a second hand homeschooling place like the one math book i use to get it from the company it's $80 but she got it for $12 you can also find stuff at yard sales

I "think" that the average for homeschooling is about $250-$300 per child. That does include, however, thinking about how you don't have to buy the teacher's editions for the younger children because you already have them. To just do one child with a normal curriculum that has quite a bit of stuff, I'd think it would be about $400. Of course you could spend less by buying used or borrowing stuff, and you could pay a looooootttt more.

The question that needs to be answered is "What is best for my child(ren). Home schooling is not easy. It takes a lot of time, patience and research. The dollar amount shouldn't be a consideration. If you are looking for a cheap way out, send the child(ren) to public school. Don't go to the board of education in your state, They'll tell you things to discourage you, i.e., you need to submit a standard curriculum, you need a degree, etc... Go to your capital or go on-line and get to know the laws pertaining to home schooling. Also, go on-line and do a search on home schooling in your area. I'm quite sure there is a home schooling organization in that area that will give you all the answers you can ask.
