Where to find homeschooling materials in French?

[Judy]

Friends of ours who are missionaries in Africa will be coming home for a year-long furlough. When they come home to the States they will be bringing the four African children that they adopted (ranging from 6 years old to late teens). Their desire is to homeschool the children for the time that they will be in the States. They have asked me about homeschooling materials in both French and English. I have no problem helping them out with the materials in English. But I have no idea where to look for French resources and I need help locating sources that carry homeschooling materials in French. Thank you for any help that you can provide!
Blessings,
Judy

First lesson: there are NO homeschooling material in French. Period.

Second lesson: when you dig a bit further, you can find "Les mathématiques à la maison" (which is a GREAT GREAT program - and it's FREE TOO!)
http://www.defimath.ca
However, that math program does not match anyone's state curriculum and is so "out there" that it really doesn't match anything at all. First graders start with squares and square roots, and by the end of the year they're handling first degree equations....

Third: There's great long distance schooling you can have from either France or Belgium. The material from France is a+, the price from Belgium can't be beat (about 50$ per child, for life, as many classes as you want!)

..do you have more information you could share about these?

Yes, you can obtain French grammar programs from DGP Publishing (http://www.dgppublishing.com/NewSite/foreignlanguage.htm). I am not sure if it is English grammar in French or French grammar in French. :)

Oh there's plenty of French material, after all we wouldn't homeschool in French otherwise. But there's no *homeschooling* material. Everything is meant for classrooms, and may or may not apply to a homeschool environment.

If you get permission from the France consulate, you get a subsidized price for the whole year, including official recognition. Otherwise you can go a la carte, and choose your classes

From Belgium. Low cost, effective method, but you get printed material, not a nice book on glossy paper..

You can also check Les cours Hattemer, and Les cours Legendre.
