Home School Enrollment Surge Elizabeth Shultz remembers the challenge she faced when she began teaching her oldest son at home five years ago. The neophyte instructor was confronted
by a bewildering array of packaged curricula and other educational products
geared to the home schooling market. Another common estimate is that home schooling parents spend about $700 million a year on instructional materials such as books, maps, and science equipment. "It does seem that a larger percentage of people coming into home schooling today are looking for these kinds of resources," said Linda Dobson, an author and a spokeswoman for the National Home Education Network... ...The market for religious home school curricula has many entrants, but among the bigger ones are A Beka Books, Alpha Omega Publications Inc., and Bob Jones University Press... Targeting MomCore Curriculum, the Florida company providing Ms. Shultz's materials, has also begun offering its materials to charter schools. The company started
as a family business in 1989, and last year reached $1.8 million in revenues,
said Core Curriculum's operations manager. Core Curriculum is doing most of its business
over the Internet, he added. |
