You'll need to find out the details of your state law (this is very important since homeschooling is legal in all 50 states AS LONG AS you comply with the law to the letter) and of course there are links to state support groups (Christian and Secular) as well as curriculum resources.
Your membership fee pays to have an entire legal team on retainer- I wouldn't homeschool one day without them. I've been a member since 1994. Since your child was in the school system, you may encounter issues when they don't return- pulling out of school is very different than never having sent your kids. If you're contacted, or if you're required to file paperwork, HSLDA will hold your hand and even send letters if the school district misbehaves .

PS regarding curriculum, regional accreditors don't accredit homeschool curriculum or homeschools. It depends on how your state classifies you, but your diploma is valid in all 50 states (assuming you're compliant with your state's laws).
Thanks!
My question was asking for online accredited curriculum sites like Liberty or Alpha and Omega. I was seeing if anyone has experience with any of these sites and could make recommendations.
One of the lawyers at my law firm sits on several home schooling association boards and writes home schooling manuals. I don't need resources about where to go to figure out laws. I need suggestions for online curriculum. There are more kids doing online or homeschooling than there are in private schools in my state as I'm sure you know.

Any suggestions you could offer regarding curriculum sites for high school would be great. He's going into 8th grade but I think I have that covered. I just want to get a head start on thinking about high school. Thanks!
Don't miss out on something great just because it might also be difficult.
