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 can't get that link to work!

It was just the website, for a link try this:

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 ! 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.

Thanks, Cricket2.

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.

Time slots aren't working the best for us either! DS isn't liking it quite as much as I thought he would, but he is learning the material. Might go back and pick 24/7.

I emailed them and explained the situation. They let me pay the difference.

We have pretty rigid homeschooling times, so the time slot is working fine for us. But if your schedule is more loosey-goosey, then it might not work so well.

My problem was that it doesn't take into account when my DD wants to do science at 7pm, or really doesn't want to stop now and her time is up. It would be easier if she would be more rigid sometimes.

Great! Thanks for the info. I may just do the same in the morning. :-)

We've been crawling because our schedule's too weird to allow us to get on more than a couple times a week lately. We've had lots of fun social/outing opportunities lately I cannot resist.
