COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS
The K-12 Free Homeschool is a tuition free home school program that uses primarily multimedia online curriculum materials supplied. The K-12 Free Homeschool was specifically designed to run smoothly on a wide range of home computers. We want all families to experience this fantastic free home school program, not just those who can afford a brand new computer every few years. Our free home school software is flexible and fits different levels of computer performance.
Free Home School Minimum Hardware Requirements
The following minimum system specifications are required to complete home school courses at The K-12 Free Homeschool:
A Pentium III processor with Windows 2000 or later- 256MB RAM
- 6 gig hard drive
- CD-ROM drive, Monitor, keyboard and mouse
- A 56K Modem or faster connection
Although we do not require a high-speed internet connection, we do suggest that families access our free home school curriculum from as high a speed connection as possible. But if only a dial-up connection is available everything will work perfectly. We also suggest providing a printer for your child, although a printer is not an integral part of our free home school program.
NOTE: We do not guarantee that Macintosh computers will be able to run our free home schooling software; however, several of our customers have successfully completed our program using Macs. We suggest using the Microsoft Windows operating system to ensure compatibility.
Free Home Schooling with Multiple Children
You can home school several children on the same computer, as long as your children log in and out of their accounts when taking turns on the computer. Many of our families have successfully homeschooled using a single computer with multiple children. For multiple children please make sure to create a separate account for each child; this will help to keep all of the automatic record keeping (grade book, transcripts, etc.) working perfectly.
