Homeschooling

Question: can i get a Homeschool Curriculum from US, UK, australia, canada even if i'm in asia?

i'm thinking of Homeschooling my bub. but i'm not too keen on the program available in my country. it's not even a popular option here.

so... like online education for grad students, i was wondering if i could get Homeschool Programs from the western world and teach that to my kid (substituting my country's history for social studies and such.)
i'm a teacher so there's no problem with modifying the lessons to be culturally appropriate for my kid

i don't care about the grades either i think i can work it out with our department of education for my child to take tests at a public school.

this question is still in the exploration stage. no decisions yet.

Answer: Many US curriculum companies will ship overseas; I'm in the US, so I can't speak for the companies in other countries, but almost all of ours will ship to Asia.

http://rainbowresource.com/index.php - pretty much anything you could ever want, at a discount, ships foreign airmail
http://www.sonlight.com/ - literature based curriculum, selected from basically a Christian standpoint, but easily adapted to other belief systems. The literature is challenging, teaches life lessons and morals, not often openly Christian.

I'm not sure what age you're looking for, but this is a wonderful lit and research based curriculum that allows your child to read and research through history, without imposing a worldview. It's meant for middle and high school, and covers world and American history. (You can tweak the American history assignments to fit your country/region fairly easily, if you like.) http://trisms.com/

I'm not sure which worldview you're wanting to teach from, these companies are openly Christian and excellent resources:

Again, I believe they will ship anywhere.

Hope that helps!
