Just For Fun

 

Online Co-Op

  • Virtual Homeschool Co-Op – this is an online homeschooling co-op. They offer classes covering Apologia Science from General Science up, Saxon Math from 5/4 up. They also offer writing classes (typically using Institute for Excellence in Writing materials) and various other electives as they have teachers. They offer live classes as well as “on-your-own” classes where you watch recordings and move at your own pace. Entirely free, but if you donate money, you will usually get early access to “seating” your student. Things to note: This is a co-op thus it is run entirely by volunteers. This means the class offerings will vary every single year depending on who steps up to teach, grade, or build the courses.
