"You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself." ~ Galileo







Where do I begin?                                

Over the last decade+ homeschooling resources have become numerous. I've chosen to include the following links because they have proven to carry quality resources for our homeschool.

While visiting any of these sites, you may find something intriguing, yet still would appreciate a review. If that is the case, sometimes you can find helpful reviews at: http://www.homeschoolreviews.com/

Homeschool Resources

Many of these companies offer free catalogs. While looking through materials on web sites don't forget to request one. They are always happy to send one to your mailing address.

Looking for a typical course of study? This link provides curriculum requirements and US standards for grade levels preschool through grade 12. http://www.worldbook.com/wb/Students?curriculum

You can buy full grade kits through some of these companies.

I also list companies that have a great selection of sources where you can pick books as you design your own educational plan. Personally, I prefer to design my own, this method is called eclectic.
