How do you choose the best home-school program?
Q. I am thinking about home-schooling my children, ages 7 and 11, and I know there are different curriculum's for homeschool. I don't know where to go to find out about homeschooling resources or how to compare the different programs. In addition, what resources are available to home-school parents? How can you suplement the social aspects, art, PE, and other programs offered in school. I would like to find the program that is right for my children and encorporate all of the additional activities to create a well rounded education for them.

A. The first thing you need to do is figure out what your kids' learning styles are. For example, you might have a visual-tactile learner, who needs lots of hands-on work. The other child might be an auditory learner who needs to hear the information. You do not need to buy a packaged curriculum for your kids, although many people do. The advantage of such curriculums is that they do the work for you - in a sense. Everything you need - if you like the curriculum - arrives in boxes at your home. The disadvantages are that they are expensive and might night fit your child's learning sytle or the subject matter you wish your child to learn.

What is national accreditted online school program?
Q. I found a college in Colorado that offer Associates degree in Health information Technology. They are nationally accreditted. They are online school. What do you think, is it good idea to get associates through them or any other national accreditted online schools. I already have Assoicates in Liberal Arts. I wanted to get another Associates degree without leaving the house (perhaps online program) and taking my time, because i have 2 six-month old babies. Any good school you have in mind, i don't $300 credit school. Thanks

A. You'd have more options if you instead did an online degree through a regionally accredited school. A lot of employers don't recognize degrees from nationally accredited schools, and in many cases, you can't transfer those credits to other schools if, for example, you decided to go on for a bachelor's. So I'd rather you found a two year school that offered degrees online, and which is regionally accredited. Check your local community college. Mine - SUNY Orange - offers degrees online. Many do. And those are appropriately accredited. New York University also offers associates degrees online, via continuing education. Not cheap, though. It's hard to do a web search and come up with good schools. Most of the schools that come up via "on [cont.]

A. Check your city and county websites for available funding. You will probably need to get a fiscal sponsor (a 501(c)3 organization) that will administer the grant money since you are not a nonprofit. You can also search for available grants at our website (free!) under "Youth Development" in New York. The database lists grants for nonprofit organizations, but maybe you'll get some ideas for what is out there.
