What Is Abeka Home Schooling

When thinking about home schooling, its easy to begin to be
overwhelmed with the right place to begin. Since homeschooling
has received more popularity in the 20th century than in the
past, there are a lot more resources that you could have found
20 years ago. The downside of this is that there's almost too
much information from everyone coming out of the woodwork with
his or her ideas, views, and preferred styles regarding
homeschooling. For instance, you could spend a whole day just
trying to figure out all of your state laws that pertain to
homeschooling! You've probably heard A Beka mentioned quite a
bit if you are investigating homeschooling. Although there are
many types of homeschooling, such as Classical, Montessori,
Eclectic, A Beka is not a type of homeschooling, its actually a
curriculum package for homeschooled parents to use to teach
their children.

A Beka is actually a curriculum that supports one of the
methods of homeschooling: The Christian Method. Actually, A Beka
is one of the most popular Christian homeschooling learning
curriculum. It's a curriculum guide that is published in Florida
by Pensacola Christian College in Pensacola, Florida.

A Beka is a complete learning system for your child that has
all of the bells and whistle's, such as, teacher's guides,
templates for testing, suggested lesson plans, and well written
text books. It is well knows that A Beka is a challenging
curriculum and is usually one grade ahead of normal public
schools. For example, second grade A Beka learning curriculum is
equivalent to first grade public school lesson plans.

Its good to note, that A Beka is one of the more expensive
Christian curriculums on the market, but is well worth checking
it out. You can always look for used books, guides, and lessons
plans online or in your Christian book stores if the new
curriculum is out of your spending comfort zone. Its also good
to check with some of your local homeschooling groups or
internet review sites to read up on A Beka curriculum.
