Teachers help parents develop a course of study for their children and supply resource materials. Charter Schools offer Home Study Programs providing curriculum development and teaching assistance. Homeschoolers may also become members of private school Independent Study Programs. These programs vary but generally supply record keeping, guidance, support, and curriculum counseling. A few home educators employ tutors to instruct their children at home.

The Internet offers research opportunities in every subject along with online, interactive homeschool classes and college courses. Audio and video courses are available. Public television offers courses for credit through community colleges. Home educators also participate in correspondence courses.
