Okay, The kids and I think we have all the bases covered for their first two years of high school.
For Daughter 9th grade:
Language Arts: W.C grammar & composition 10th grade (1 credit)
World History: Narrowed text choices to Stearns, World Civilization: The Global Experience or Spodek, The World's History.... both are AP text. (1/2 credit)
World Geography: Narrowed text choices to Rubenstein, The Cultural Landscape or Salter, Essentials of Regional Geography... first is a AP, the other honors text. (1/2 credit)
World Literature: Glencoe World Literature (1/2 credit)
Geometry: Larson's Geometry (1 credit)
Biology: Narrowed down to Madar, Inquiry Into Life or Campbell, Biology: Concepts and Connections.... both texts are honors level. She does not want to dissect-LOL. (1 credit)
Health/Fitness: Lifetime Health or Health & Wellness
and Williams, Personal Fitness. (1/2 credit for each)
Consumer Education: Lowe, Consumer Education & Economics (1/2 credit)
Music: we are double checking the local Jr college. She wants to take the courses there but if not allowed then she wants to use their text books and do the courses at home... but I don't know if the college will accept "credit" or advance placement. (1-2 credits) She is also taking piano and guitar lessons.
Italian: She hasn't picked the curriculum. (1 credit)
For 10th grade she will do chemistry, algebra 2, W.C grade 11, continue with the World History/World Geograhy/World Literature as these are spread out two years instead of each done in one year, Italian, Government, Life Skills, Drivers Education, AP Music Theory or take at Jr college.
For son he wants to take a more accelerated pace:
