I'm guessing most homeschool parents find two things intimidating about high school - advanced math and science. We've discussed math many times on this site since I'm homeschooling a daughter with dyscalculia. We haven't discussed science as much, mostly because we've taken a very relaxed approach to it.

Live online high school classes is something the early homeschoolers could have only dreamed of. It's amazing the opportunities we can bring to our homeschooled children right from the comfort of our own home.

Homeschooling opens up so many different avenues for our kids to undertake their education. CLEP exams are one such way. (CLEP is short for College-Level Examination Program.)
