In my post on hybrid homeschooling, I talked about combining homeschooling with distance learning or local classes. Here continues the list of Distance Learning Programs you can use.

Hadley School for the Blind While this school is not for everyone, it is free to the blind. "The Hadley School for the Blind offers more than 100 distance education courses free of charge to those who are blind, their families or blindness professionals. Students can select from a variety of courses and study anytime, anywhere." There is a highschool program, an adult continuing education program, a family education program, and a Professional Education Program. Cost Free

Home Study International (HSI) iS a Seventh Day Adventist distance education provider. (See Griggs International Academy in a previous post).

Humanities and Sciences Academy has several different programs to fit the needs of homeschooled high schoolers. Their Humanities and Sciences Institute focuses meeting the College Board's Advanced Placement curriculum. The International Commerce Institute meets state academic learning standards. They also have a two different Humanities and Sciences Academies with different degrees of academic rigor. Tuition costs are not posted.

Independent Study High School is affiliated with the University of Mississippi and provides an accredited diploma. Certified teachers provide one-on-one attention and consultation. Assignments and tests are graded quickly. Students can take core courses in all major curriculum areas. Fees are not posted online.

Indiana University High School Course & Diploma Programs are fully accredited with more than 100 distance education courses for high school students and undergrads. While this program is not geared specifically toward homeschoolers, it is a well-established program. Fees are not posted online. Internet Academy is a K-12, online program and "Washington's first online school". Washington Students can attend the school free. Students who live outside of Washington may also use the program for a fee of $325.00 per class.

By supplying this list of distance learning programs, I am not necessarily advocating any of them, just making you aware that they exist. You will also want to look at my curriculum glossary.
