My son started at 16, and I wish I had known about SL and Study.com earlier so he could have started at 15. Of course this depends on the child - my younger son turns 16 in March but I don't think he's quite ready. My older son actually started this journey by taking 3 courses via Saylor - Intro to Business, Corporate Communication, and Marketing. He did great on those but then bombed Micro and Macroeconomics on Saylor - he took a break then tried those two courses on SL and did great.
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
