Current Curricula

I am down to homeschooling my last child who has the NERVE to be in high school. Technically, R is 18 years old, but he chose over a year ago to take his time to actually learn everything we have chosen together. So without further ado, here are the choices we made for him:

We returned to LLATL about three years ago during my daughter's senior year. We are using it with Wordsmith also from Common Sense Press.

For geometry, we switched from Teaching Textbooks to AO Lifepacs. The first couple of Lifepacs were a bit of a transition period, but it's now going really well.

Science was a tough choice this year because we started out trying ACE Physical Science, but it was very difficult. That surprised us because we have been using ACE for science for many years. As surprising as it was to me, we've gone with Lifepac science as well. We are using a combination of the 8th and 9th grade years which cover the same topics as the ACE Physical Science. SHOCKING!

At least, we remained with our tried and true favorite for American History...ACE!!! We've used ACE history for many years. All of my kids have remembered more using ACE than anything we've previously used. (That topic will be coming later. Trust me.) 

R wants to be a game programmer, so this year for his electives he's using the TeenCoder Windows Programming and Game Programming books.  

Well, there ya have it. The choices that work best for JR for this year. I will try to post more specific information on all of these at a later time. I hope you've been able to find what works for you and your family.
