One more note. Several people have already said their particular curriculum is "the best". Don't believe them. Be patient and find the right one for your kids. They can be very different in how they learn, and you will start to discover the little things that can make a big difference in their learning, something public / private school teachers simply cannot do.

I agree. Each of my children used a different curriculum because each learned differently or had different needs. I suggested Sonlight only if you end up with a child that loves to read. The 1 son I had that used it read over a 100 books a year, the curriculum fit him perfectly.

An other son practices his violin at least 6 hour a day. Sitting around reading (which was never a love for him) was not realistic. He used a mixture of Abeka, Bob Jones, and Alpha Omega curriculms. The last uses a mixture of Sonlight and Abeka, and they all used Saxon math.

This is what worked for my family. Your children might find nothing out of what worked for us will work for you. The same for all the rest of the posts. They are all just sugestions.
