* Free online courses: Many universities and organizations offer free online courses (MOOCs) that can be incorporated into a homeschool curriculum. Examples include Coursera, edX, and Khan Academy.
* Public school online options: Some public school districts offer fully online programs that are free to eligible students.
* Free curriculum resources: Websites and organizations offer free downloadable curriculum materials, worksheets, and lesson plans. However, these often require significant parental involvement in organization and supplementing.
* Public library resources: Libraries often provide free access to books, educational materials, and online databases.
However, while free options exist, many popular online homeschooling programs are subscription-based and charge monthly or annual fees. These paid programs often offer more structured curricula, teacher support, and interactive features. The cost can vary widely.
