How Self-Paced Courses Work

What I Personally Love About These Self-Paced Courses

Something I personally loved about the self-paced classes was the flexibility they gave us! My son homeschooled year round so that we could take days off whenever we wanted or needed to do so. You may choose to homeschool during the traditional school year and take the entire summer off.

Perfect for Special Needs Kids

As I have mentioned, I have a special needs daughter. I have my daughter’s helper, Chris, work the classes with her. Chris assists Hannah with many of the activities in the classes (like the review games), but for the most part Hannah is able to move on with no assistance.

Available Subjects

Right now, three subjects are available in Self-Paced format: Bible (2nd-6th grades), History (2nd-6th grades), and Omnibus (7th-12th grades). Every course is built to be multi-level.

Literature for Use in the History Courses

To make things even better, there are kits available for every Self-Paced course. These kits include all the reading materials for that particular Self-Paced course.

Flashcards for Bible and History Courses

One of the additional resources you may want to use is a set of flashcards. In fact, I highly suggest that you buy and use the flashcards. I used them with my children to introduce the lesson each week and give them a basic understanding of what they would be learning that week. The flashcards also helped them answer the worksheet questions.

Other Information

I suggest that you either plan to watch the classes on certain days each week or that you set a number of classes to watch each week just to be sure you don’t fall behind.
