[HSList] Home School Curriculum

[Jean Riskus]

My favorite is http:planetk-12.planetsearch.com
You pick the grade level you want, then the subject.
It takes you to different sites that have lesson plans and information on
those subjects. It also has an education search as well as web search.

I think you mean Calvert School. I question they're being the best homeschool
curriculum publisher. They are a relative new comer. Calvert School is a high
quality private school that was established over 100 years ago. They have
found no reason to extend their original program which consists of six years
of school and then the students look for a college to enter. I really doubt
that they could be superior to one of the much older home school curriculum
publishers such as ABEKA, ACE, Liberty Christian or Christian Light. Simply
due to lack of experience alone, Calvert School is a novice at homeschooling.
