Among the thousands of Christian homeschool resources available, here are a few top choices that I recommend.
A Beka
A Beka offers a DVD or Internet Video stream home school option. Teachers from Pensacola Christian Academy give lessons to your child as your child works through the A Beka textbooks and materials. A Beka also offers a parent directed program where parent teach the children directly out of A Beka Books. The entire curriculum is Christian based, with textbooks geared for nursery school through 12th grade. I used A Beka most while growing up and thoroughly enjoined the program.
