First of all, I want to apologize to all of you. I know that I haven't been updating this site very often lately. Unfortunately, with many demands on my time, this is the thing that has been neglected. I am tutoring less and writing more this year, and so I simply haven't had as many new lesson plans and resources to post. Please be patient with me and check back periodically, though, as I'm not giving up on School Without School yet. Posts are just a bit more spread apart. There will still be some fantastic homeschooling resources here, and I'll try to be more diligent after Christmas.
Although I am generally tutoring less, I do teach a weekly Sunday School class at my church. We have been covering the Old Testament this year, and will start studying the New Testament in the new year. If you are interested in any teaching resources for Sunday School or Bible Study, then click here for my blog with those lesson plans and other resources.

Religious Education: Seminary
One of the advantages to homeschooling is that you can have greater control over your curriculum and what subjects you teach. Many homeschooling families have chosen to include religion classes, or to incorporate more of their religious beliefs into their studies.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has an established religious education program for its youth aged 14-18 (high school). Teens in school would normally attend an early morning class before school. This program has a 4 year curriculum covering The Old Testament, The New Testament, The Book of Mormon, and Doctrine & Covenants. This program is called seminary, and is organized around the world.
LDS families who homeschool can either do homestudy seminary or attend through their local congregation with other teens. Although the courses on The Book of Mormon and Doctrine & Covenants are most relevant to Mormon families, the other two years (The Old Testament and The New Testament) could be used by any Christian. The courses include a lot of resources, including manuals, music, DVDs, etc. You can buy these even if you're not affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or a lot of seminary resources are available for free.
If you are homeschooling your teens and want a Christian course of study, this could be a really helpful resource. Click here to visit the official website for Seminary. Click here for resources for studying the Old Testament and here for the New Testament.
