What curriculum is recommended at that point, or are there plans to keep developing curriculum all the way through each year? If so, we might be able to use HOD all the way. My oldest in only 9 now!
But if not, then seriously, what curriculum would you recommend at that point?
Just curious.
I have, obviously, no idea what Carrie would recommend. I will, however, share what we've done/are doing for high school. I have a senior that technically could be graduated, but we've decided to continue thru spring.
We used the Truthquest guides for history and tied them with lit and writing. This was the bulk of his studies with everything else kind of coming out of it. He struggled with grammar so we used R&S. He wasn't crazy about it, but learned a ton. Had he used R&S all along I'm sure he would have been where he needed to be by 9th grade. He didn't come home until 7th. We used Apologia for Physical, Biology and Chemistry (not sure they'd be my first choice now, but they are very good). He's now taking Forensic Science at the high school. We used Teaching Textbooks for Alg 1 & 2 and Geometry. He ended up taking a consumer/business math at the high school since it worked into his schedule. Had he taken it at home I would have done Dave Ramsey. He has a great high school program. My ds is watching DRs videos to give him, at least some, of his perspective. Then we've added in lots of rich Bible and character studies, electives (Spanish, graphics, etc). I think he's had a rich, rounded high school experience. It's focused a lot on good reading, adding in enough "textbooks" to get the job done, topping it with electives that will help in either college or life.
HTH.
