The Art of Problem Solving site, geared toward the best U.S. junior high and high school math students, offers a 10-week "Introduction to Programming" class http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/School/classlist.php that uses Python. There are weekly lectures in an online classroom and graded homework assignments. My 10yo boy is taking the class. But he tells me JavaScript is his favorite language :).

I would have a look at this one: 
http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/csclub/book.pdf. If you like it you can 
still buy the print version.
