August 23, 2019 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

I cannot believe that Summer is more than half way over and that Back to School sales have begun. While we are still trying to bask in the lazy days of Summer I am planning our high school homeschool curriculum choices for the upcoming school year. Eldest and Princess are both working on credits to add to their high school transcripts.

Since we have four children that will ALL be homeschooling this year I try to keep things simple with having everyone study a few of the same core subjects. This year we will have two high school homeschool students and two elementary homeschool students. Check out all of our elementary homeschool posts for younger aged resources.

Quick Start Guide to High School Homeschool Curriculum

August 8, 2019 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

It’s August and it’s Back to School season which can put high school homeshcool parents in a tizzy! I know what it’s like to plan for teens since I have two with very different personalities and interests. So here’s some ideas that I am calling a Quick Start Guide sharing free and paid resources for high school homeschool curriculum.

I realize that many families have a limited budget when it comes to spending money on supplies and curriculum but there’s so many good free choices that you will only have to narrow done the courses that your child wants to take along with a few requirements. If you are brand new to homeschooling your children then I highly recommend you read my How to Start Homeschooling post FIRST then come on back over here!

High School homeschool offers a wide array of choices for students between courses, work studies, apprenticeships, college courses and jobs. I would suggest you take some time with your high school student to talk about career goals as well as current interests. Maybe even plan to get a tour of your local college or career center. (We just found out that our local career center allows for a very flexible academic plan since they allow open enrollment.)

Technology Loving Unschooling Homeschooling Method {Real Homeschooling for Real Families}

July 1, 2019 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Today’s Real Homeschooling for Real Families post is written by Cyndie who is a local mom. She is writing about using technology to unschool her daughter.

UN-School mom here! I have been asked to explain a sample day to day of how my daughter (7) learns through the unschooling method. I’ll just leave the wiki link here so you can read what unschooling is. You can also check out books about unschooling from Amazon.

We’re big on family time so we do official school work around my husbands work schedule. He works 2nd shift 4 days a week. On those days we get up around noon. (yes, you read that right) My seven year old hops onto the Xbox and games with her friends for about an hour while I gather my thoughts. We check the weather radar together and plan what we want to do for the rest of the day.

Eclectic High School Homeschool: Preparing Your Teen for Life {Real Homeschooling for Real Families}

June 24, 2019 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Today’s Real Homeschooling for Real Families post is written by Pat from Breakthrough Homeschooling. She is writing about using an Eclectic Style for High School.

When we first began homeschooling, I think it would be fair to say that that prevalent approach to homeschooling high school was actuality preparation for college. Most homeschool moms replicated their own high school education, whether or not it was intentional, and that certainly was the context when we were homeschooling our two older kiddos, now 31 and 29. But I’d like to suggest an alternate approach to homeschooling high school today, without (I hope) sounding too melodramatic: preparation for life.

As mentioned, many years ago, college attendance was the assumed next step after teenagers completed high school. Since then, however, our country and culture have been hit with recessions, skyrocketing college costs, unprecedented pile-ups of student loan debt, and a staggering rate of un- or under-employed college grads. Add to this environment the unparalleled growth of technology-based businesses, many of which do not require or even need a college degree, and a business landscape that invites and encourages entrepreneurship. Oh, and don’t forget the useful application of a gap year…

The end result is that today’s high school students have a plethora of opportunities and possibilities, which actually makes our job as home educators a bit more complex than “just” preparing for college.
