Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Request brochures and vendor catalogs form various Christian homeschooling suppliers and programs. The Christian Homeschools website lists various programs and contact information. You can review curriculum and program structures and compare online schooling to traditional education options. You also should ask if your church offers programs.

2. Attend a homeschooling convention in your area. These conventions hold information sessions that detail available Christian homeschooling programs. Take home vendor materials and study their offerings before deciding on a program for your children. You'll find virtual homeschooling conventions online at websites such as Homeschool Convention.

3. Evaluate the programs to see if they meet the standards you expect from a Christian program, such as using the Bible as a primary reference, and determine whether the subjects and lessons reflect your religious values.

4. Talk to other homeschooling parents. A homeschooling convention or support groups offer networking opportunities where you can discuss what programs offer Christian curriculum. Often the local library has information about homeschooling groups.

5. Purchase homeschooling materials from Christian booksellers such as Christianbook. Most have book review on their websites which can help you select the right materials for your family.
