Visual Latin through Compass Classroom has lessons that match to the Henle curriculum. That may be helpful.

Hi Tricia. I would highly recommend Compass Classroom for your son's Latin with their Visual Latin class. My daughter took through Latin II in high school and I taught it at home with her and also at the co op level. We had always used Classical Academic Press latin since elementary school so I stuck with Latin Alive. It was good... covered complex grammar, etc but their goal was reading ancient texts in the original language so the translation exercises were pretty long and dry. So, for latin ii, we tried to make the switch to Visual Latin. It was such a great program, but moving from one high school program to another proved to be more trouble than it was worth (topics not covered at the same time etc) so my daughter felt some gaps. However, that is the only reason we didn't stick with it. Had we started there with Visual Latin I, we absolutely would have stayed the course. It is video based, the teacher is engaging and very funny. He doesn't take it too seriously, and I understand that now you have an option to do the tests and quizzes online for auto grading. I highly recommend. :) for what it's worth. :) Also as a testimony to their customer service, after we changed our minds after about a month, they refunded my money. great people at compass.
