Yes, You Can Homeschool High School!


Wondering if you can homeschool high school?

Over the years I have seen too many parents stop homeschooling when their children reach high school.

Not knowing how much time it will take, what subjects to teach, record keeping, transcripts and diplomas can cause any parent to become overwhelmed.

Parents begin questioning themselves whether they can really provide their homeschool high school student the best education.

Many wonder, again, if they are qualified to home school - kind of like the questions we all asked when we first started homeschooling!

Sadly, those same questions arise when our children reach the high school years!

Perhaps you think you can't teach high school level courses like Algebra, Chemistry or Civics. Maybe you have forgotten everything (you're not alone!) or you don’t have the time – you have other homeschooled children or you work.

The easier route is to put your child back in school. But is it the best solution?

Homeschool High School Help!

Many opportunities are available to you when deciding to homeschool high school.

From community college, umbrella schools, or enrichment classes through a homeschool co-op, you can feel confident when choosing to home school your teen through the high school years.

If the thought of high school level courses scares you, finding alternative solutions will ease any worry or concern you may experience.

You can oversee the classes that you feel comfortable with and find an alternative solution for the classes that require more knowledge or additional guidance.

Some students handle high school courses with ease, others benefit from interaction from other students or adults.

When considering home schooling during the high school years, some homeschool options available to you are:

  • Pre-packaged or Accredited Homeschooling Curriculum
  • Homeschool High School Online Academies
  • Umbrella Schools
  • Community College
  • Private Tutors
  • Computer Software
  • Online Classes
  • Video/DVD Courses
  • Homeschool Co-ops
  • Homeschool Enrichment Classes

Earning a High School Diploma

My second oldest and I spent some time together last year, looking at the next step in her educational career. She was in eighth grade and we were ready to begin her high school homeschool education.

We had fun re-discovering our state's requirements for a high school diploma.

To find out the homeschooling requirements for a home school high school diploma in your state, go to your State's website. In the search box type in "high school diploma requirements", or "highschool graduation requirements".

We found lots of helpful information.

What you will want to know is the required courses your child needs to take, the number of credits needed for homeschool diplomas, and any other (testing) requirements for your state.

The Planning Process

Next, you will want to take some time to plan out your child’s high school education.

Before purchasing your high school homeschool curriculum, write down an outline of the courses they will need to take each year to complete their high school requirements. You will also want to note any special interests they have, subjects they currently enjoy or find interesting.

To keep everything organized, use a file folder or notebook and put all your information in it.

Whatever you use to keep organized, make sure you can conveniently add materials and important documents to it, to help ensure everything easily stays in one place.

College Admissions

We also took a quick look at colleges and printed off some information to get her to begin thinking about college and a future career.

Know the admission requirements of the colleges or post secondary institutions to which your student may want to be admitted. It will help you to plan the best course for your child when homeschooling high school.

Even though college seems like a long way off, it's not too soon to start planning. It's also fun to spend some quality time together, dreaming and thinking about your child's future.
