Homeschool for free

The school year has already begun for a lot of families. The back to school sales are winding down, with Halloween decorations taking shelf space from the scissors, glue, and loose leaf paper.

I was a little wistful of all the parents buying the notebooks and pens for their kids, knowing that it would be at least two years before the real formal need for those things begin. But the other day I while in Wal-Mart I picked up a set of wipe-off writing strips for use later in the year when we attempt writing skills. (At this moment we are working on building skills and patterns. Blocks are awesome teaching tools.)

We didn't bother going to this year's homeschool curriculum fair because I figure anything I need at this early of a stage I can get online. Probably for free.

Which leads me to this anouncement: there is now free core curriculum courses available for Kindergarten to grade 12 online at K12FreeHomeschool.org.

The founder of K12 is Mimi Rothschild Mandel, who I first had contact with when she left a comment on my Chattanooga blog. She is also the founder of Morning Star Academy and an author of several books on education. Since she is involved with this free home school program, I knew I had to give it a look.

The K12 Free Homeschool program works by combining online and offline resources (depending on the course) for through coverage of the subject. The curriculum is faith based and designed for all kinds of students who have the need or desire to be home schooled. You can get a good look at what they have to offer on their online home school program tour or see a sample lesson.

To off set costs of the curriculum, parents agree to participate in answering questions, completing surveys and offers from K12 Free Home Shool corporate sponsors. They have limited space available, so check them out soon.

Philadelphia, PA –- This week’s release of K12FreeHomeschool.org represents the much anticipated opening of the first tuition-free online academy core curriculum for K-12 grade homeschoolers. The new, first-of-it’s-kind online model for Christian Homeschoolers is supported primarily by outside corporate, non-profit and educational funding instead of the traditional “paid tuition” model.

“Nothing like this has ever been done before,” says Mimi Rothschild, a veteran homeschooling parent and CEO of Learning By Grace, Inc., managers of K12FreeHomeschool.org. “Our mission is to deliver world-class educations to our students and give every family, no matter what their financial situation may be, a great opportunity at providing their children with a quality education.”

The launch comes at a time when many parents are tired of the failing public school system, but don’t have the money to send their children to a traditional private schools which, because of soaring tuition costs, are reserved for the wealthy.

“I understand that parents don’t want their children growing up in sub-standard and sometimes dangerous public schools. I also understand how much work homeschooling takes, I should know because I’m a homeschooling mom. K12 Free Home School takes the pressure of homeschooling off parents and is also incredibly affordable,” says Rothschild.

K12FreeHomeschool.org is nationally accredited and offers tuition-free courses, which include materials at little or no extra cost, and optional elective courses, which are offered at a 50 to 75 percent grant reduction.

K12FreeHomeschool.org also enables parents to customize their child’s education to best fit their child’s learning styles. This approach to education is a breath of fresh air when comparing it to public schools’ approach of one-size fits all curriculums. K12 students excel in the relaxed environment of their homeschool and have the ability to go at their own pace.

“It’s the 21st century and it’s time we starting using 21st century technology to benefit our children’s education. Each child learns in their own unique way, therefore each child should receive an education that caters to their needs. With the technology we have at our fingertips, there is no excuse for not giving each child in America an individualized world-class education,” says Rothschild.

K12FreeHomeschool.org is managed by Learning By Grace, Inc., the foremost leader in online education and single-handedly changing the way Americans educate their children. Learning By Grace also manages other learning resources including The MorningStar Academy, The Grace Academy, and The Jubilee Academy.

K12FreeHomeschool.org is the first online nationally accredited K-12 private school to offer tuition-free courses. It is a ground-breaking online program that equips students with a desire to learn and allows parents to provide their children with an affordable first-class Christian education.
