Although my children are not yet in high school, I am a planner and decided to start collecting FREE quality resources to be able to use when my children are older. Not to mention the fact that my second grader is a brain and advancing faster than I can keep up with sometimes! I hope these links to online learning resources help any families who are homeschooling on a tight budget. All of the following websites and programs are FREE, which amazes me! The internet is such a great place to supplement curriculum and foster learning at any age. Click around… you won’t believe what all is available online!

“HippoCampus.org is a free, core academic web site that delivers rich multimedia content–videos, animations, and simulations–on general education subjects to middle-school and high-school teachers and college professors, and their students, free of charge. Teachers project HippoCampus content during classroom learning and assign it for computer labs and homework. Students use the site in the evenings for study and exam prep. Users do not need to register or log in to use the site.”

“Khan Academy is an organization on a mission. We’re a not-for-profit with the goal of changing education for the better by providing a free world-class education for anyone anywhere. All of the site’s resources are available to anyone. It doesn’t matter if you are a student, teacher, home-schooler, principal, adult returning to the classroom after 20 years, or a friendly alien just trying to get a leg up in earthly biology. Khan Academy’s materials and resources are available to you completely free of charge.”

Easy Peasy All in One Homeschool
“This school is good for anyone who needs/wants to save money or time. As for money, the curriculum is free. The materials are online and free. You will need to purchase paper, etc., but it requires no books or major supplies. In this way it is also good for those living overseas who have limited means of access to English books, etc. As for time, this is a way for your children to work independently and to free you from planning. “
