If I start home schooling this late in the year, can it be completed?

If I remove my 7th grader from regular school where he is not doing so well and start the abecka program; is is possible to complete the program this year?

I just answered your other question in the general education category. It would be very hard to complete a one-year program in just a few months. However, if there is a lot of overlap in the scope & sequence from what he had in PS, then you could skip a lot, gloss over the review stuff, and then get to a point where it's new information.

This might be hard to do, though, as Abeka, and a few other HS'ing curricula are at least one year ahead of the public school curriculum.

If you plan on HS'ing him for longer than the rest of this year, don't even worry about the grade level or if you finish by May. That's one of the benefits of HS'ing. You don't have to conform to the gov'ts idea of boxed in grade levels. You do courses at the child's pace (more quickly or slowly), and even different pacing in each course/grade.

I guess I gave you more than you asked. But I think it'd be hard (and a bit of a waste of $$) to just try and push him through one grade in just a few months.
