    The middle school and high school science classes are available to order. The complete curriculum offerings are supposed to be available later today but information on them is also on the site. Visit:

    I'm not sure about the time slots and if that would work for us but I might try one and see how it goes.

    The time slots are new this year, since the company has changed. They are also available with 24/7 but it costs more, although still less than getting them from our state virtual school. I'm not sure about time slots either since I won't get my DD's therapy schedule until school starts. I'm looking at a complete curriculum if I can find some more info on some of the classes, they are 24/7. (Each class cost $219/yr at our state virtual school, so still a great savings.)

    Has anyone had any experience with PLATO'S complete curriculum?

    I'm interested in the 6-12 complete curriculum package that homeschool buyers coop is currently offering that Melissa mentioned.

    I've heard good things about the science program but haven't heard much about the other courses.

    Hi Melissa,
    Do you have to homeschool to join Homeschool buyers Co-op? My DS is in public school right now, but I am considering homeschooling him for next school year. Thanks.

    I'm not Melissa, but I'll answer your question anyway wink! Yes, you are supposed to be homeschooling to join. They have you fill out a confirmation that you are primarily responsible for the home education of at least one child. I guess that they'd have no way of verifying if you wanted to say that you were homeschooling even if you weren't though.

    Since this thread has been revived...I will add that the time slots did not work for us. I ended up going back and purchasing 24/7 access instead. smile
