Hello I want everyone's opinions. We are trying to find suitable high school groups and/or classes for our son so we can pull him out of public school and he can have an alternative.  So he can have peers to do things with......anyway, we are looking a curriculum and choices as far as accredited or non-accredited.  We have been using the Abeka curriculum, the textbooks, not the DVD's.  Which it's not accredited....our main concern is preparing him for college...so I am wondering...does it really matter if the high school curriculum is accredited or not?  I don't want to spend more money on accredited programs if we don't have to...plus then it controls and tells us what to do and when.  That is taking one of the freedoms of homeschooling away, in my mind.  Anyway, of course we want the best for him, no matter the cost.  I would love to hear from some people who are in my situation now and what they are doing, or from some people who have been there done that....and what they did and how it worked out.

Thanks so much!  It's great to have friends with this stuff in common that we can relate to!
