Here’s where we’ll plan next year’s curricula.

Possible online schools

Abbington Hill We have at least 3 families of friends attending this online school.  One family has already done a year there and speaks highly of it.  However, I’ve also heard some 2nd or 3rd hand worries about their business practices.  I found nothing at the BBB about them and no real (ie, not at their site) reviews.  Hrmph

Time4Learning I’ve heard good things, but it’s only math and language arts.  I think we are actually doing pretty well on those fronts.  I don’t feel like we need daily/weekly drills on them as these are academic skills we put to daily use.

Spelling City I just like it, for Charlotte.  ;)

Wilostar3D A virtual school, with toons and everything.  Interesting.  It actually looks not-so-great as far as graphics are concerned.  But if I could get schooling that was like WoW or Wii, we would be SO THERE.

Keystone Middle School Good price, same as AH actually ($1500/yr).  Looks good, has a good and established rep.  The website is much cleaner than AH.
