I have a friend in college who was homeschooled through high school and does very well. However, she had always been homeschooled, and this brings forward a very different attitude toward "schoolwork".

There are unit studies that can be done based on her interests which would include assignments to read, write, compute (math), learn the history of, learn the science behind whatever the topic is. She could get a good education that way . . . If you're willing to put the effort in to a) make sure each discipline is adequately covered in each study and b) make her stick to her work and complete it. If you're not willing to do those things, homeschooling won't work well for you.

If you think it's something you're willing to do, I always recommend the book So, You're Thinking About Homeschooling? by Lisa Whelchel, which gives a good overview of the styles and curricula available.
