Dear Friends, I have decided to home school my 3 children for the first time. I'm still in research process of where to go to find all curriculum & what I do with the government requirements. I would like only a Christian education program. My children's ages are 10, 7, & 3yrs.
If anybody can help in any area, please I would love & appreciate it. Thank you kindly.

Hi Trish, Well done and great decision! You can follow the links from the Home Educators Association as far as government regulations are concerned. This should help you work out what the requirements are. As far as curriculum etc is concerned, there is so much out there!
Firstly, you need to work out how you'd like to go about schooling. If you want an all in one Christian program with workbooks etc, you could look at the Australian Christian Academy program or something like Sonlight Curriculum in which you teach your children together. This is more a literature based approach - reading, talking, writing...
It takes quite a bit of time to do research. Perhaps working your way through the The Guide on my website will help you establish things like your goals, subjects, approaches etc. This will help you work out what you want 'homeschooling' to look like in your home. And remember, you don't need to rush in and buy a "Curriculum".
