High School with STAA

Our Basic Recommended Book List

   
 

The following lists our recommended books for each grade. You will not be buying every book or only the books listed. Students have a wide variety of abilities and aptitudes; schooling--especially homeschooling--needs to be adapted to different children in different ways. Your advisor will work with you to (a) match each child’s strengths and weaknesses to specific materials; (b) combine your students in texts and subjects; (c) choose a religion, history and science focus for the family for the year; and (d) weave materials you may already have or would prefer to use into your family’s course plan.

Books and materials are purchased by the family from various sources; provider names and addresses, order codes and prices are included in the program packet. Costs for materials per child can range from $300.00 to $700.00, depending on the grades levels of your children and resources already available to you. Many of the materials are used for two or more years and most are non-consumable.
