Discover the Math Genius in Every Child
"It's OK you're not good at math," friends say, "I'm the same
way". Children overhearing this grow up believing that they need
a "math gene" to do well. In reality, math is a subject that
everyone, even young children, can easily succeed in. And
success in math develops the self-confidence, and cognitive and
executive skills children need to do well academically and
socially. |

Why
you shouldn't use this curriculum
Most curriculum publishers will give you a long list of
reasons why their curriculum is the best. We, at Calvert
Education Services, prefer a different approach. We want to
be upfront about what it takes to use our curriculum and let
you decide whether it's the best approach for you and your
child. The truth is.....our curriculum is not for everyone.
Calvert's curriculum is a rigorous program that requires
time and effort by both the parent and the child. However,
many of our Calvert families tell us they can see the
benefits in just a few weeks. |

The Economic Advantages of a Distance Learning Private
School
In this economy, everyone is looking for ways to cut
costs. In many cases, families are willing to sacrifice
quality to save money or are willing to do without. However,
this does not extend to our children's education. We want to
provide the best education we can for our children. In some
cases, the "best" education may come from a private school,
and in others, it might mean homeschooling.nt> |

Homeschooling Options through Texas Tech University
One of the greatest advantages of homeschooling is that
you, the parent, have the option of creating a learning
environment for your children that does not emulate the
traditional classroom setting. Despite this, many parents
start their homeschooling experiences with the traditional
textbook and worksheet format because of its familiarity.
The good news is that there are offerings that allow
students to learn while breaking away from the methods that
feel stale to today's students.nt> |

Combine high school and college to knock 50% off your
kids' college costs!
According to the College Board, the average college cost
of a private four-year school is $37,390 per year and
$18,326 per year at a public four year school. And, on
average, tuition goes up 6% every year. Sound scary? That's
why programs such as egePlus!, a Christian based
program, provides students with an innovative approach to
earning their fully accredited bachelor's degree in less
time and at a fraction of the cost by simply combining high
school and college courses. |

Is Online Drivers Ed right for your child?
Many teens have one word for driver's education: boring.
When I took drivers I gave up my Saturdays for two
months. They used scare-tactics, dull material, and at
times, even taught us dated information. The worse part was
that I somehow found a way to tune out after the first two
hours. Nowadays, online drivers ed classes offer teens a fun
and interactive way to take drivers ed. They can take the
course from the comfort of their own home—making it an ideal
solution for homeschooled teens. |

The Principle Approach® for Homeschooling
Unique among teaching methods today is the one that was used
by our Founding Fathers and the writers of the Bible which
depends on the Scriptures for its methodology. The
Foundation for Christian Education believes that the

method for teaching a Biblical worldview and applying God's
truths in every subject. With this method, not only is the
Biblical worldview the framework for understanding each
subject, but in each lesson, Biblical principles are taught
that expand and enrich the Biblical understanding of that
subject. |

Cows are too big to put in your pocket! Learning the Real
Value of Money
Money originally came into being when people started living
in farming communities and started specializing in what they
did for a living. They became efficient at what they did and
produced enough surplus product to trade with their
neighbors. Money was invented because basically cows are too
big to put in your pocket to do trade. Money is simply a
convenient tool. |

Keystone - Because Results Matter
Once a parent realizes that there are differences among the
long distance options, the big question arises, how does one
go about choosing a long distance educational program? Does
the parent look at cost? Probably. At the curriculum? Most
definitely. But how about looking at the results/success of
the program? Aren't results and success an appropriate gauge
for judging just about anything, especially a school?
Keystone National High School (for grades 6-12) would like
you to look at their results. |

Building Paths For Online Learning
The Internet provides a wealth of knowledge you can use in
your homeschool program. Unfortunately, finding the right
lesson or activity at the right time can be both difficult
and time-consuming. If your child suddenly declares a
passion for the study of electricity, you don't want to
waste time scouring the internet for reading materials and
fun projects; you want to get right down to the business of
exploring his/her interest. Likewise, if you've decided to
teach your child about the American Revolution, you'll want
an easy source of information that will allow you to make
history come alive for your child. |

Experienced K12
Virtual School – Free in 15 States
Many distance education providers focus on the high school
experience, since this is often where a disconnect from
traditional schools takes place, either through bad choices
that result in the need for recovery options or through
personal choice. |

Affordable Quality
Education
While distance education can offer students a more
convenient or alternative method to a traditional learning
setting, it can also be an expensive or precarious
undertaking because of the variety of programs available
online. With a little research, homeschoolers can locate
very affordable, quality online education programs such as
the one offered by Citizens' High School. |
|
|
Quality interactive
homeschool curriculum
One of the greatest advantages
of homeschooling is that the learning environment does not
have to emulate the traditional classroom setting. Yet many
parents start their homeschooling experiences with a
traditional textbook and worksheet format because of its
familiarity. The good news is that there are offerings that
allow students to learn while breaking away from the methods
that feel stale to today's students. |

Reaching out to the K12
Community
While some K12 schools embraced
the online learning environment early on, it was the higher
education community that made the greatest advancements in
terms of presence, technology, design, and offerings.
However, these now-established platforms are looking towards
the lower grades as a means of connecting to those students
who are also looking for an alternative learning
environment. |

Prepare for college
with a proven homeschool partner
Is your homeschooler thinking about college? Partnering with
a college prep homeschool program and a college counselor
will save you from many sleepless nights, especially during
a recession. A reputable college prep homeschool program
must have the appropriate services in place to hold your
hand and advise you as you chart the unknown waters of the
college application process. Many families don't realize
there are steps to take as early as middle school to ensure
your child's college placement. And during these hard
economic times, families can benefit from a knowledgeable
financial aid and scholarship advisor. |
