Please know that many, many families have successfully (and happily!) completed this chapter of education for one or more of their children. Speaking as a parent who has done this, these capstone years are do-able, really fun, easier, and more rewarding than our family imagined they’d be.

Homeschool High School's Most Essential Subject
What subjects should you include when homeschooling your teen through high school? Answering this question can and does fill entire books. Personally, I think at least some of the subjects should be related to your teen’s interests as much as anything else. But there’s one subject that should be mandatory: personal finance.

How to Homeschool in High School
How do you homeschool in high school? The greatest encouragement someone gave me when I was contemplating what high school home schooling looked like, was - "It's no different; you just keep going." When our children were entering the "high school" years, I had an idea that homeschooling was going to change completely. However, our routine stayed the same, and most subjects stayed the same.

Homeschool Accreditation
Accreditation is a process in which school standards are evaluated by an accreditation agency. In the United States, this process is not completed by the federal government, but by states or private companies with varying rules and standards. Different groups promote accreditation for homeschoolers. They suggest hard and fast rules on how things should to be done, leaving parents feeling that their way of homeschooling was somehow deficient. It’s as though they think only a certain format or approach, or a single method will guarantee success. Looking around, it’s easy to see that homeschoolers of all varieties do indeed succeed, ...
