I was going to recommend Veritas Press self-paced. I honestly didn't expect to like it, in general I don't like computer-based stuff. But we reviewed it last spring and my girls (11) LOVED LOVED LOVED it. I was shocked that even stuff they balk at for me (like spelling, and map stuff), they did w/o complaint for Veritas Press (though since we are very much not classical homeschoolers, there were some of the spelling words that I completely rolled my eyes at and just told them how to spell it (after googling to figure it out for myself) because really, when in life will they need to spell the name of some ancient Greek city that no longer exists?). So, yes, it's alot of money, but if it's in the budget, it IS an awesome option.

Also, make sure to glance over their statement of beliefs, and make sure you're ok with it, I think it was more with the older kid program (Omnibus or somesuch) but I know some reviewers mentioned having some issues with differing beliefs. We didn't run into it much, but I think it would be more of an issue in some of the other time periods, like when they're learning about the reformation (?).
