Art is inspiring but it does not happen at a snap of the finger. For children, art right now is expression and by adding a in a home school curriculum, the child might not be able to produce fine art yet, but it would help them be inspired about things and to work on various materials to make practical items look beautiful and personalized.

Art does not really have any purpose to some extent but in a way it has driven a lot of people to pursue art careers because of the fascination for human craftsmanship and the appeal for personalized and special looking pieces. It is a good aspect so a should be included. The best reason for adding such a lesson for kids is that it teaches them to discover experiment, think creatively and critically and be passionate about things that they made themselves.

In introducing a , it is essential to understand that young children do not understand yet rather vague concepts of color and they color as they go. In the right conditions and level of understanding, children can he introduced to concepts like color wheels, using various materials like paper, glue and scissors and combining different materials to achieve art. Books related to kid's crafts could help parents in getting exciting crafts and arts for kids.

For young adults, a more advanced kind of art making could be introduced like the use of basic design software tools like Paint and greeting card makers. This will improve their computer skills as well as bring their art appreciation in a different platform.

Children could get easily impatient and so it is necessary for parents to reiterate the importance of patience to finish the art and to stay dedicated to it. The lessons can provide life values to children like appreciation, patience, dedication and self-confidence. Knowing that they finished a work of art is a feat. It is good to give them rewards that are art related by going to art shops, museums or even buying them a new set of art items for new projects.

Art right now could be more functional in terms of making them purposive for children to do art. The life lessons and skills the children discover from are essential for practical living.

Special needs students and quick learners both are able to achieve academic success by taking as much time as they need to comprehend the course material - no more, no less. Learning By Grace provides an alternative to the negative influences that permeate the nation’s public schools such as worldly thinking, humanist teaching, and moral relativism. Free from peer pressures, distractions, and a rigid educational formula, our home school students can pursue educational excellence.

Below please find a description of the different programs.

MorningStar Home Schooling

Home schooling parents get daily/weekly lesson plans for 180 days of home school curriculum, a calendar of assignments, transcripts, tests, quizzes, and progress. This takes a tremendous amount of busywork out of home schooling. When other home school parents spend the entirety of their Sunday’s hashing out the following week’s lessons, The MorningStar Academy’s parents simply review the pre-planned home school lessons. We view education as a partnership between The MorningStar Academy and home school parents. We take care of the busywork so that you can focus on parenting.

We provide an array of multimedia home school course materials in the form of actual books, videos, CD-ROMs, interactive online materials, workbooks, daily devotions, and group activities such as cybertrips, contests, and projects.

We provide a comprehensive selection of home school courses in elementary, middle or high school that cover most academic topics, including electives, of which you can choose up to 6 each year. These courses are fully accredited and give you credibility with your local school district as well as colleges. We provide high school students with a diploma and a GPA.

Your child also receives access to our Academic Counselors available online during school hours for an unlimited number of questions. This is an invaluable home school resource that prevents parents from having to learn higher level courses such as Trigonometry or German. Our teachers are subject matter experts so you don’t have to be!

You will receive ongoing, continual dependable support that will reduce stress and enable you to home school longer and more successfully. Our home school parents receive the partnership of an accredited and registered private institution committed to helping you provide a quality education for your family. All of our home school parents are included in a specialized community of online home schoolers where support, encouragement and resources are freely shared

Most importantly, we provide students with a spiritually enriching and Christ-honoring education.

The Jubilee Academy

We provide everything that the parent needs to successfully home school his or her child throughout the year. The Jubilee Academy Home School program is more than just a curriculum provider. In addition to your online home school curriculum, you gain inclusion in a network of support, access to several online tools and software applications that you can use to enhance your child’s home school education. Plain old textbooks simply can’t hold a candle to the multimedia adventures that await your child with The Jubilee Academy Home School program. With your tuition payment, you’ll receive all the online home school materials, tools, and access you need.

Most importantly, The Jubilee Academy Home School program is a complete, parent-led home school resource. The home school parent as teacher heads all classes and teaches all subjects, with guidance from Jubilee Academy Home School staff and the use of parent-password-protected answer keys. While many assignments are graded automatically, others are graded directly by the home school parents, enabling the parent to have control over their student’s grades, while also providing daily support and guidance to insure their student’s academic progress and ultimate home school success.

Grace Homeschooling

The Grace Academy is more than just a school. We provide a fully-featured educational framework that is changing the way that people think about education. Our cutting-edge technology allows parents to provide their children with a world-class private Christian education at a fraction of the cost of traditional brick-and-mortar schools. Unlike other homeschooling curricula, we do not just provide textbooks. We provide a variety of educational tools, materials, and services which homeschoolers all over the world use to achieve academic excellence.

The Grace Academy combines the control and flexibility of traditional homeschooling with the teacher support of a private Christian school online. It's a great solution for new Christian homeschooling families who need an alternative to the public school as well as homeschooling veterans who want to eliminate the mundane tasks such as lesson planning and grading to allow for more time for all the other jobs of parenting!

Being a Home Schooling Parent: An Insider's Look

Home schooling is sweeping the United States and abroad. According to the National Center for Education Statistics for 2004, 2 million children are being home schooled in the United States alone! You are maybe asking yourself what is home schooling? Or more importantly what does it take to be a home school parent?
Home schooling is simply educating your child or children at home with you, the parent, as the educator. You do not receive federal funds and your child or children are not enrolled in a public or private school.
A home school parent by definition is a parent that has taken on the task of educating their child or children at home and I want to discuss the three most important things any parent should know and the ten things any parent should consider before taking on the task of home schooling their children.
I have been a home school parent for four years and with each year our home school has had its ups and downs and I have learned a lot about myself and my children.
The most important thing that I have learned is to trust God in this awesome task of educating and raising my children to be all that God wants them to be!
The second most important thing for a home school parent to learn is that God created our children to be a one of a kind creation, with distinct personalities and traits. I am so thankful that everyone is different with different interests. What a boring world this would be if everyone was the same! Your children are no different, learn to appreciate their uniqueness. What works for one does not always work for another, be flexible. The sooner you learn that the easier your home schooling experience will be.
The third most important thing I have learned is to teach my children to respect and appreciate their siblings and other people's interests and talents. For example, my middle daughter loves to write and has many wonderful stories she loves to tell and write about, but my oldest daughter, who has a passion for math and science, does not even like to write much less think of a topic or a story to write about, so she will ask her 6 ½ year old sister for some ideas to get her started and likewise if my middle daughter has a problem with her math she will ask my oldest daughter for help, so they are learning to appreciate each other. Believe me, when you and your children learn this important principle your home school experience will go smoother.
I hope that these three important principles have not scared you from trying home schooling with your own children. It is truly a wonderful experience in being a parent. If you are considering home schooling here are some things for you to consider:
1. It takes time to teach, prepare lessons, field trips, park days, soccer league, etc.

]]>

2.Every home school parent needs to take time out. If you don't you will be with your child 24/7 and that will lead to burnout.

3.You can home school rather inexpensively, but some curriculums or extra curricular activities can add up.

4.You, the parent, are responsible for seeing that your child socializes with friends at different events that your local home school support group set up or finding different socialization opportunities in your community.

5.The regular cleaning and laundry still have to be done and you might find yourself rearranging your cleaning schedule around school time.

6.Home schooling works better if both parents are in agreement.

7. Do your children respect you? Only you can answer that. If they don't respect you they will not listen to you.

8. Home school for one year at a time. Don't look to far ahead, you will get overwhelmed.

9.Are you intimidated about teaching?-Many curriculums offer teacher's guides and DVD's to assist you and you will find that other parents will help you if they have been through the subject before.

10.Make sure you get involved in a local home school support group. Some areas have more than one. It is encouraging to know that you are not alone and your support group will help and encourage you when you are experiencing a hard time.

Making the decision to home school can be a very difficult one and should not be taken lightly. It is a personal decision and no one can make it for you, but I hope that you will take into consideration some of the things that I have mentioned.

Home schooling takes courage and it can be a long journey but there is joy in the journey! Happy Home schooling!!!

Facts 75% of home school families are Evangelical Christian 1.5 million children now learning at home, an increase of 75 percent since 1999. The Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics reported homeschooling has risen by 36 percent in just the last five years. 83 percent of parents who chose home schooling do so for religious or moral reasons

Home School Myths: Low Education Standards" Myth of Homeschooling

Let's be honest: When people here the term "homeschooling", one of the first images that pops into their mind is a backwards, old-fashioned, inadequate form of education. However, it is true that for centuries, children have been taught at home by their parents. This practice is in no way a new phenomenon and has helped produce many of history's greatest movers and shakers! In contemporary American society, homeschooling has received a reputation for being a poor way to educate children. This reputation, which is limited in perspective, is neither fair nor accurate.

The education that homeschoolers receive is often more dimensional and diverse than the standard means of education received in a typical classroom. One of the greatest aspects of a homeschool curriculum is its flexibility. Learning a lesson about the Impressionist Art period? Pack a lunch in a bag and the family in the car, and head to the museum to see actual work by the artists you are learning about. Learning about the wonder of birds in your science lesson? Grab a pair of binoculars and head outside. These are both incredibly valuable experiences.

In addition, there are many great homeschooling resources that exist for parents interested in taking charge of their children's education. Many of these programs are developed by professional educators and are accredited programs that are recognized as valid education curriculums. Students are encouraged to think for themselves and take ownership of their learning experience.

Some people might say that this information sounds good in theory and on paper, but when it comes down to it, how do homeschool students perform compared to students from the public school? The answer to this question would surprise many! "A 1997 study by Dr. Brian Ray of the National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI) found that home educated students excelled on nationally-normed standardized achievement exams. On average, homeschoolers outperformed their public school peers by 30 to 37 percentile points across all subjects."

Finding a program with high standards and that fits the needs of you and your child is important, but as you can see, choosing to homeschool your children would in no way impair them for a bright future.

• Home School Myths: No Socialization” Myth of Homeschooling
• Free Home School Curriculum That Allow your Children the Education to Grow

Home school for your high schooler

Homeschooling at any age can be a challenge, but we have found that home schooling our high school aged children has been the most challenging.  We want to make sure they have everything they need for the real world, but also all the credits they need to get into college.   
The challenge is not so much with our children, but with finding high school curriculum for home schooling.  Most of the home school curriculum is younger grade based usually below 8th grade.  Yes there are some home school programs out there that have high school aged curriculum, but some of those can be very costly and when you are on a budget it makes it difficult.

We prefer to create our own home school curriculum rather than buy something expensive.  Creating your own home school curriculum can be interesting and fun, whether for your younger children or your high schoolers.  With our high schoolers we can include them in creating something they can be interested in and still get the number of credits for graduation.

Themed unit studies are one way of creating home school curriculum for your high school children.   You can determine your children's area of interest whether it be Egypt, Civil War, Automotive, Cooking or any of hundreds of other options.  Themed units should be able to include reading, writing, math, history and science at least.

So how do I put a themed unit study together?  Research on the subject is key to creating a home school curriculum yourself.  Let's take Cooking as an example for a high school themed unit study.  The children will need to read recipes and show basic understanding of using it to cook with, they will use math and science when measuring and combining ingredients and of course it is good to learn some history of cooking, techniques and styles.

As you can see creating a home school curriculum for your high schooler can be a challenge. Creating your home school curriculum takes some work up front, but in the end when you see how much more interested your children are in learning it is all worth it!  
This of course is just one example of creating your own home school curriculum for your high school children, there are many options out there and don't forget the internet is a very informative place to find great ideas for home schooling your children.

For some great ideas check out www.homeschoolingprofessor.com we help you learn how to homeschool for next to nothing!
