Anyone have any good website for homeschooling High Schoolers?

I haven't tried this one but it was listed in our local paper

www.LearningExpressLibrary.com

Here are some of the high school websites I’ve collected:

http://donnayoung.org/forms/high-school.htm This site shows you how to compute a GPA, and has forms for transcripts and diplomas.
http://litlovers.com/course/ Free online literature course
http://www.ucopenaccess.org/ Free online math, science, and history classes
http://www.hoagiesgifted.org/online_hs.htm Links to bunches of great looking free online classes. The page is designed for parents of “gifted” children, but the classes are mostly high school level classes.
http://edsitement.neh.gov/view_lesson_plan.asp?id=594 This is a fabulous high-school level lesson plan for studying the Autobiography of Frederick Douglass. If the other lesson plans on the site are as good as this one, than I know I’ll be back here.
http://www.learner.org/resources/series123.html You can watch the documentary “A Biography of America” online here. I’ve been catching episodes of this on my local PBS station during the teacher-programming time slot—it’s a great program; definitely worth adding to a U.S. History class. Search the site for other programs, too. They are expensive to buy, but you can watch most of them for free online.

Enjoy!

Dana

This is one of my all-time favorites:

DonnaYoung.org Printables and Resources

http://www.donnayoung.org

And for specialized courses, at a cost, there is Virtual High School. My daughter is taking Pre-vet, Animal Behavior, and Forensics.

Sue--how much do the Virtual High School classes cost? I can't seem to find that on their website. Looks like a good resource!

Have I mentioned these yet?

This is a site where you can download a free graphing calculator that works on Windows XP. It was just what we needed when my daughter's Algebra I book required the calculator for only one lesson. (Not worth buying one for that!)

malektips.com/xp_calculator_0008.html

Here's a website that has a "dynamic Periodic Table"--a nice reference for a Chemistry class. You can click on each of the elements for more information about them.

There are a bunch of free online courses here: free-ed.net/free-ed/.

Thank you for all the wonderful websites. I am thinking about high school as my son is now in 6th grade. They had some really neat things I can use with him now. Thanks again.
