Happy Homeschoolers
Ok so their are sooooooo many different choices i am getting lost in a sea of HS curriculum choices that I am thinking that a comprehensive program to start with complete with work books and material by grade is the way to go. I am hoping to find a curriculum that ranges from k-8th grade any thoughts???????? I have heard the well trained mind s a great program but when stumbled upon the website i could only find a book on how to HS not the guided curriculum?????? Any thoughts????? Thanks for any help and info :)
Excited to get my little guy started this summer :)

We use Christian Liberty Press and we love it. You can find their curriculums at http://www.shopchristianliberty.com/curriculum-kits/ -
I believe SOS goes from k-high school.

Religoius preferences? Budget?
There are many out there, but you need to decide if you want secular, protestant, or catholic and you need to decide on a budget (the full curriucula can range from a couple hundred to a couple thousand).

The book The Well Trained Mind does have a guided curriculum mapped out. It's not an all-in-one-box kind of deal, but it's spelled out exactly what to do each year. I thought the same as you when I first heard of it and thought it was just a book *about* homeschooling, but it's not. It is instruction in a specific homeschooling method and maps out how to do it.

We have just started Christian liberty curriculum, it came with every subject and all we would need for the whole school year. It seems great so far.

How old is your little guy? Son Light has good material- but the History is a little graphic for little ones. I like to look by subject and find materials that have visuals and manipulatives. I do not know of one that I would reccommend the whole thing. Maybe someone else out there has.

My kids are 6 and 9, I took them out of public school at Christmas break and we have been using Christian liberty curriculum. I am having a blast teaching them and learning with them. I work full time as well so it has been an adjustment, but it is worth it!
