Here are just a few:

Clonlara (grades K-12) offers online correspondence classes by computer, and/or assists parents and students in developing their own curriculum. Particularly helpful for parents who prefer non-traditional methods of learning, but who want traditional-looking records. www.clonlara.org

Austin Home Base provides a middle ground between homeschooling and private school for kindergarten to 6th grade. In 3 or 4 days per week, AHB teaches the core academics with a hands-on, thematic philosophy. Each class is mixed-age and has a maximum of 18 kids with 2 to 3 teachers, and cost from $5000 and $6000 a year.  For more information, check out their website: www.austinhomebase.org

Moore Foundation, PO Box 1, Camas, WA 98607, (360) 835-2736. This organization is affiliated with Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore, pioneers in the homeschooling movement and authors of several homeschooling books. www.moorefoundation.com
 

Correspondence Schools
These are just a few of the correspondence schools which provide courses that a student completes at home. Tests and other assignments go to the school for grading. Most of these schools will provide either individual courses or a full diploma program. Contact the schools for details about their courses and fees. Please note that the costs for these programs vary greatly, and it isn't necessary to do any of them to homeschool successfully.

Recommended Reading for Parents
Before you start educating your children, you'll need to spend some time educating yourself about homeschooling. No, you do not have to read all of these books before getting started, but try to read at least three or four of them. Different authors promote entirely different approaches, so it is very helpful to see the range of possibilities that exist before deciding which way is best for your family.
    These are a few of the books, magazines, and publications recommended by AAH members. Many books about homeschooling can be found in the Austin Public Library system. Some are listed under "domestic education" in the subject catalog rather than "homeschooling." If the Austin Public Library does not own a particular book, you can often borrow it usually through interlibrary loan.

Austin Area Stores and Discounts
Several Austin stores offer discounts to educators, including homeschoolers. Some of these stores have more than one location, so check the phone book for the stores nearest you. If a store does not advertise an educator's discount, ask.
    If a bookstore offers an educato's discount, you may need to show some proof that you are a teacher. Some clerks may accept a hardcopy of "AAH News" as verification.  Sometimes they ask for a teacher's ID, while other times they do not. Find out how to make an ID (for you & your students) here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aah-announce/files/Sample Forms/.  You need to be a aah-announce subscriber to access this file. 
    Some of the stores will issue you an educator's ID. After one of the bookstore chains gives you such a card, the other chains will probably accept that as proof of your status as a homeschooler. Apparently some store managers think that people who are not actually homeschoolers are taking unfair advantage of this discount, so they want to make sure that it is used as intended. 
    Most discounts are only for classroom materials. Public school teachers get a discount for items they will use in their classroom, but not for every book they purchase, so that is the model used for homeschoolers also. At these stores, it works best if you answer all their questions before they even ask. Separate your purchases into 2 piles: classroom materials and other purchases. You can say, "These are curriculum (or classroom) materials for use in our homeschool. Here is my ID card."  The key words are "curriculum/classroom materials." Remember, though, that all of your children's reading material can be considered curriculum material. Their science fiction novels and computer magazines are just as much curriculum as their Shakespearean plays! Do be sure to separate out materials that are NOT for your child's education. The clerks always appreciate this honesty (and once in a while, they go ahead and give you the discount on all your books anyway). Barnes & Noble, Borders, and Half-Price books have educator discount programs.

Goodwill Bookstores. Used books, including some textbooks.

Check in the phone book under "School Supplies." Stores listed there cater to school teachers, and they have many materials you might want to use.
