[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the back to school part on the website, it says book buying. Are we expected to buy our own books? If so what is the estimated cost for a high school student? And do they allow kids to print out their own copies from online and then staple it or do you need to buy the actual book? I've never been to a school where I had to buy books so I was confused.[/quote]

Yes you have to buy your books and it’s not cheap. It was typically in the $450-650 range for US. The link to buy books from the distributor goes live in July and you have the option to buy directly from that site or attempt to shop around for better prices elsewhere. The distributor has “used” book options for some titles which helped with cost. We attempted to source books from multiple vendors one year to see if we could do it for less money, but decided that the hassle was not worth the possible $20 or $30 savings and ordered via the school’s distributor going forward. For second DD we were able to recycle many of the books, but not all. [/quote]
