It is a secular curriculum and one of the very best offered for the age and grade range you mentioned.<a href="http://www.healthstorebargains.com/srch/srch.php?q=Sunblock"> Kerry</a> Definitely check out Time4Learning if you are interested in computer-based programs.

I would suggest starting your curriculum search with an idea of what method you like. Look at library books or at book stores and on-line for methods out there. Some methods include classical, traditional (what we do nowadays) and eclectic (a little of this and that). Some books on homeschooling methods or homeschooling in general will have a list of resources, including software applications. Home schooling conventions usually take place more in the spring than the rest of the year. Search the web for any upcoming ones near your area and browse the curriculum of several companies. If you can find a non-Christian convention, you'd have more secular resources available and less Christian ones to wade through. But even Christian ones should include some secular companies. There are also books that review curriculum. Just search under amazon or the big bookstores and you'll come across several. There are also some on-line resources available.<a href="http://www.ecohomefashion.com/robes-and-shawls-75"> chrys</a> You can find secular stuff out there.

A non-secular curriculum would be a religious one. Secondly, you also will want to connect with some other secular homeschoolers. Sometimes you feel like the odd man out otherwise. :-) (There's also a Secular Homeschoolers Yahoo Group you might like. LOTS of curriculum discussions on there, especially history and science.) Programs I know about...Google them for more info: Math: Math U See Life of Fred Right Start Math Singapore Math Saxon (I think, anyway) Math ALEKS Teaching Textbooks PBS stuff, esp. relating to Cyberchase (cartoon w/ math concepts) Science: NOEO Science Phonics: Headsprout Composition: BraveWriter History: Story of the World Sonlight <a href="http://www.jewelrymakingidea.com/wholesale-jewelry-making-supply.htm"> K</a> Ok, first things first, secular means NON-RELIGIOUS, so you want a more secular curriculum.

Are you looking for curriculum that is computer-based, but is software. Or are you looking for an online program? There are so many different choices now. Also, are you looking for something that is low-cost/free or is it possible to spend money on the program?<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/Job-Search-Resources.htm"> Anon Tom</a> It depends on what you are looking for.
