We will be doing a Charlotte Mason based program similar to above. You will have to add a math program to the above. The one I listed is free.
The most important thing to do is relax. Your son learned despite the schools shortcomings, he will learn despite yours. The second most important thing is to make sure you are following the rules of your state. Dont need the communist knocking on your door.
I would also suggest you get some good (non educational) board games and play. Can learn a lot from games. Boardgamegeek.com
I would like to know more about Ambleside. I actually haven't used it yet, the literature they suggest have been fantastic so far and it looks like a solid program. Our eldest is in Kindergarten and it doesn't really go down that far.
Did you use it for your kids or were you the kid that used it?
What grade levels did you use?
Any useful information on how a day/week was organized?
I followed it as a basic outline....this was about 14 years ago. We just read lots of literature, Ruth Beechick and Well Trained Mind for history, Math U See, writing skills, poetry and Bible memory, guitar, swimming, tae kwon do, baseball,....
I kept my eldest home for kindergarten and he used Saxon Math and Learn to Read in 100 Easy Lessons, listened to Classical Kids music series 100s of times, memorized verses, sang songs and hymns and lots of nature outings.
