We're in Israel, and DD is having trouble with Hebrew. We've decided the best thing to do is home school her. I'm looking at 9th through 12th grade, high school.

So, how do I choose the right program to sign her up for? There are so many out there!
How do I know if she will pass the bagrut?
What if they don't cover the requirements for Israel?
How do I even know what Israel requires?
Can she work at her own pace, or are there deadlines?
Can she Skype a teacher for help?
Will I have to stay on top of her to make sure she does the work?

She has anxiety and OCD around educational issues, and becomes oppositional if I get too involved in her studies. She's also not the least bit interested in religion right now, so a frum program will not work for her.

I should probably post this in the Israel forum, but I need as much input as I can get.

I need some serious guidance here, and I don't even know where to start. HELP!

The only person I know who knows anything about homeschooling in Israel is Avivah Werner. I think she's a poster here, actually, but I don't remember her screen name. Her website is avivahwerner.com.

Actually, I'll see her in person tomorrow. Would you like me to pass on your question?

ETA: no, she's not the only person, actually, but other homeschoolers I know lean more toward unschooling, which I'm guessing is not really your thing? I can ask them too if you want.

Try contacting the poster YaelinIn. She is an avid and knowledgeable homeschooling Mom.
