Distance Learning, 6th grade, Accredited

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello: I'm a retired Overseas American. We live in Colombia, South America. Our daughter is finishing 5th grade and
the Private school she attends will probably close in June. Because of our limited income, and, also, because of the
superior education available to her with Home Schooling, my wife and I are very interested in any recommendations,
feedback, etc., the people on this Forum can give us, about Accredited Distance Learning Schools, for 6th grade, full time students.

I discovered this web site last night and did some reading, and I am aware of schools such as Seascape, Calvert and a few others and would like to get feedback, from people who have used those schools and other schools.

Our priorities are: (a) Accredited (b) Quality (c) Our finances

Our daughter is bilingual (English and Spanish). For the past 4 school years, she has been in a school where the primary language is Spanish. I suspect her English Grammar skills have weakened, during those 4 school years. Other than that, she is an excellent student.

I discovered Texas Tech University, via a link on this web site this morning, and have just sent them an email, requesting information about total costs and whether or not they have a Payment Plan. I suspect they are too expensive for our budget at this time.

Thank you, for your time and help and thanks to HomeSchool.com for this great web site, with so much information available to newbies like my wife and I.
