I believe that Abeka is another option, but as I have never used it, I cannot verify that... Two years will go faster than you will be able to believe...seems like we were just where you are and now I have a high schooler...a couple of pieces of advice...pray often, seek your husband's opinion of things, go to Christian homeschool conferences if you can, enjoy the journey, learn right along with your children and make sure they know their math facts...that is foundational to everything they will ever do in math (and I really wish someone would have really got that through my brain)!<BR/><BR/>C~Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971623631413388442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824212541842333030.post-88075881919817694772008-12-15T17:19:00.000-06:002008-12-15T17:19:00.000-06:00We are using Rod & Staff for the most part.

We've used Christian Light in the past as well.<BR/>As to diplomas, we issued our own to our eldest when he graduated -- Illinois had little restrictions and homeschool was a private school in their eyes, at least at the time.<BR/>I've looked at BJU, but the price steers me away. I have far too many to school, though I do like many of their resources.<BR/><BR/>I will keep your schooling plans in prayer!<BR/>DeannaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315996496008524220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824212541842333030.post-59938881740879769012008-12-08T16:55:00.000-06:002008-12-08T16:55:00.000-06:00We also homeschool and live in Oklahoma.

They do not have the diploma option though, at least no that I am aware of.
