To say I've been in a little bit of an existential crisis regarding our homeschooling choices for high school would be somewhat accurate. A reader wrote and asked if I had written about our high school choices because she couldn't find anything. That's because there isn't anything yet about our plans. We are "officially" wrapping up what most …

In case you haven't noticed, I really enjoy learning about government and economics. So when I had the opportunity to review an online high school economics curriculum that is written from a Christian perspective, I thought this would be a great thing to share with my readers and explore as an option for Caroline in a few years. I received this …

Selecting a Bible curriculum to use in your homeschool can be challenging. Finding an appropriate homeschool Bible curriculum for high schoolers presents additional issues. Striking the balance of solid scholarship, accessible language, and conveying the big ideas without getting lost in a sea of heady theology isn't easy. I agreed to take a look …

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. But science is a thing as your kids …

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. It's equally amazing how these kinds of classes can free up homeschool moms from the weight of preparing, teaching, and grading high school …

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.) We are a number of years away from this with Caroline, but I still welcomed the opportunity to explore CLEP exam study guides and, more specifically, Study.com which offers …

I originally discovered Praxis when a blogger I follow on Facebook shared a Praxis post. I started following Praxis for the thought-provoking information and articles that they share. I found the idea of Praxis as an alternative to college after high school an interesting one. So when I was presented with the opportunity to share a bit about Praxis …

We are still a few years away from high school, but I confess my understanding of homeschool high school requirements was minimal. Well, actually less than minimal. I've devoted so much energy to figuring out spiritedness, giftedness, 2e, dysgrahpia, and a plethora of other things that high school was some far off (scary) thing in the future. …

Although high school is a long time ago, I don't remember drowning in homework even though I excelled, took a college prep track, and worked hard. I remember having regular homework and I remember stressing out about certain tests and finals at times. But I had plenty of time to be very active in the marching band, concert band, choir and chorale. …
