How do you get to go start home schooling and how much will you have to pay?

Tominesha, in Nevada a parent fills out an exemption letter (no cost), then submits a lesson plan with a signature from a consultant, a person who has been homeschooling for a minimum of three years (no cost, a local support group can help you find one, don't pay for it!). For our kids it costs about $100-150 per year, but it decreases because the next kid uses the book, we just purchase a new test booklet if we needed it. Some packaged curriculums (like A Beka) cost about $400 per year per student, and a full video series can cost up to $900 per year per student. Use the library, buy used books, go to curriculum fairs, this will help the cost low.

Answer

In Alaska, you can just do it. There are no requirements. Every state is different, of course, and most are a good deal worse than Alaska.

As for cost, you can spend as much or as little as you like. I'd suggest that you borrow the books ``The Well Trained Mind'' and ``Teaching the Trivium'' from the library. They will give you some ideas about how to educate your children (and how not to) in a very low-cost manner.

If you're willing to spend a lot of time at the library and to scrounge pencils and scratch paper, you could probably do it free. On my personal web page, I have some instructions for making phonics flash cards, which might help you save a few bucks. Don't forget to search the garage sales, too!

Another answer's suggestion of a few hundred per student per year is probably realistic, if you have it to spend. As the children get older, the younger ones may be able to use hand-me-down books, but the older ones will need more materials and more expensive materials, so the expenditure may not fall off much after the first year.

Don't think that teaching your kids depends on spending money. It depends on getting them to read, and to think, and to write, and to talk. None of that requires anything but your time (and maybe a library card).

Answer

I think you should check out the www.themorningstaracademy.org. It is online and you don't have to do anything but help them when the teachers can't. I'm homeschooled through the morning star academy and I'm currently in the 8th grade. There are other academys if you want to be involved with your child's learning that you should try the Jubilee academy, there should be a link to all the academys through the morningstar webpage
