Planning To Homeschool High School Giveaway
Disclosure: I was given a free copy of this resource for the purpose of an honest review. This post contains affiliate links.
As a homeschool family, we get asked all the time if we will continue into high school or will our kids attend a traditional school. After people see that socialization in not an issue for our kids, this seems to be the next homeschooling problem they see on the horizon.
My answer is always that we take each year at a time. Then, we calmly go back to our homeschooling lifestyle.
That is, until this spring.
It was convention season. My thoughts were on the upcoming school year and choosing curriculum for our kids. As I chatted with other homeschool moms and vendors about curriculum and subject areas, our normally lighthearted discussions of learning in the elementary years turned serious.
“Oh 8th grade! Did you know you can count this math or that science as high school credit?”
“Do you have her high school years planned out yet?”
“What have you done during the middle school years to prepare her for high school?”
“What career does your daughter want to pursue?”
“What are you using to create a transcript?”
“What colleges are you thinking about?”
Panic!!!
Luckily, I have veteran homeschool moms to mentor me along and talk me off the ledge from time to time. One such mom is my friend Michelle. Michelle is a veteran homeschool mom with great advice to share. She is, also, the marketing director for Apologia, so she always has good resources to recommend, as well.
While chatting with Michelle at the 2 to 1 Conference about my new found apprehension about homeschooling high school, no doubt with full on deer-in-the-headlights look, she calmly handed me this book.
“You’ll be fine. Read this.”
I devoured it.
