Educational technology provides many options to the classroom 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.
Private schools offer complete curriculum packages for pre-K through high school.
A number of colleges and universities provide high school correspondence courses and give college credit for them upon completion. Most home educators utilize a wide variety of resources. They may allow for interest-initiated learning in some areas and blend it with unit studies in history or science. They may also use a textbook for math, take foreign language classes outside of the home, and supplement their studies with classes at local museums or with a correspondence course. They use an eclectic mix of educational tools to custom-tailor a learning program that emphasizes their child's strengths, and helps to manage weaknesses.
