Homeschooling High School

Do you have a high school student? Or will you have one soon? For many homeschooling families, homeschooling for high school can be a daunting prospect. Do you worry about counting credits, making transcripts, and giving grades that “count?” Do you feel competent enough to teach literature and writing and physics and trigonometry? Are you wondering how to change paths   from a delight directed learning or unit study approach to a more traditional academic approach in order to count those all-important credits?

I started teaching high school last year. Although Emily is my fourth child, the others went to public high school, so this is the first time I’m navigating these waters of homeschooling a high school student. Over the past year, I’ve read and researched a lot, become more organized, and become more confident in the task.

Over the next seven months, I’ll be participating in a monthly blog hop with the sole focus of homeschooling high school students. Each of the participants will write about the following topics:

•  24 June - Planning for High School

•  29 July – Electives

•  26 August - Math, Science, Biology

•  30 September- Language Arts

•  28 October - "How am I going to teach High School ...?"

•  25 November -   How do you fit it all in ?

•  30 December – Graduation

I expect to learn a lot and hope that I will have valuable information to share as well. The participating blogs are:
