This is our family's third year using SchoolhouseTeachers.com, which is kind of a huge collection of homeschooling classes and resources. You can read my earlier reviews here and here. This is a subscription service, and as a subscriber/member, you have access to an enormous amount of courses for preschool aged students, up through high school--and even some for parents!
The Ultimate Annual Yearly Membership is a great value. Please check it out and explore the site as well, but definitely also check out other homeschooling folks' reviews of SchoolhouseTeachers.com!
One thing I really appreciate is that they have a lot of courses for high schoolers as well as those for younger students. My son used the Economics course and really enjoyed it (and learned a lot too!) I also really love the Foundations for Teens course, which is an apologetics course geared toward teens-- covering a huge amount of topics, with great videos and worksheets/questions as well.
So I'm not going to go into detail about the courses, check into them :) They vary from just a worksheet-type or reading/questions class to audio lessons with guided notes to videos with questions...quite a variety of formats. There is actually a separate section just for parents -- and these little courses or videos are not necessarily only about homeschooling...you'll find some neat ones such as Let's Talk Dinner (in which you and your spouse become more mindful about meals) and Spring Cleaning for Slackers (haha! Love that title!)
I do want to mention some of the "other" stuff available with an Ultimate Annual Yearly Membership . There are recordkeeping and planning guides. There are scope/sequences for classes.
Two of the extras which I would like to highlight are the World Book resources, which have a vast array of encyclopedia articles as well as other searchable media on a huge variety of topics. This access is availablel with your SchoolhouseTeachers.com membership.
Another really helpful section which is accessible to you is the "videos" tab--which brings you to RightNow Media -- and houses a searchable library of tons of great teaching videos! The apologetics class's videos, which I referred to earlier, are found at this site, as are many others. We happened to be listening to my older daughter's college chapel one day and really enjoyed the speaker, Donnie Smith, who was speaking about leadership. We checked on RightNow Media through our SchoolhouseTeachers.com membership and found many other videos that feature his teaching--and plan to watch those. It's easy to use and is an amazing resource.
I think each year that we use SchoolhouseTeachers.com we discover more things we like about it and different ways to use it within that year's homeschool plan. We really enjoy it and plan to continue using it :) Check out their Ultimate Annual Yearly Membership as well as reading others' reviews to get a better feel for this great resource!
OH! There's also a great COUPON code right now ! Here you go! :)
