Homeschooling

Question: Does anyone know of a homeshcool curriculum NOT bible based?

I am Homeschooling a 7th grade student and she is doing well. But I have been looking for a curriculum that is not Bible based. She does Bible study through her course work, but I don't necessarily want it in her science, history and language arts classes. Can anyone help?

Answer: You can put one together yourself with library books, history can be done chronologically from ancients to present; you can get books on each time period.
Usborne books are great for both history, and science for those who have a non-creation point of view, or want to include other theories in their teachings.
Science can be taught in increments, and be divided into subjects; again you can get books on each of those through the library, as well as books for experiments.
Usborne books are also Internet linked for further study, or research material.
For language arts I would recommend Wordly Wise 3000, it includes spelling, vocabulary, reading, and writing.
The narratives are also good for social studies since they are short stories about just about everything, including biographies.
The workbooks are inexpensive, around $10.00 each with the answer key's being less than $5.00; you may need something else for grammar, unless she is pretty proficient in sentence structure and other mechanics.
Book 1 starts around the 4Th grade level, and goes up to the 12th grade level.
