Homeschooling Through High School: A Typical Week (A Heart and Soul Homeschool post) on Homeschool Coffee Break @ kympossibleblog.blogspot.com


Over the past couple of years, I've often been asked what it's really like homeschooling a high school student. How much time does it take? How much am I still involved? What does a typical schoolday look like? Like so many other aspects of homeschooling, the experience is different for everyone, and this is especially true during the high school years. High school classes are available in homeschool co-ops or for dual-enrolled students at community colleges. Students who complete all their high school classes at home can choose from traditional textbooks or online virtual learning classes. Parents can remain very involved in day-to-day teaching, or allow their students to learn very independently.

This is our final year of homeschooling, as my youngest student is a graduating senior! Most of her courses are taught in a homeschool co-op, but she does have a couple of courses that she is doing at home on her own. A couple of her elective credits are earned through her extra-curricular activities and a part-time job. 

How Much Time Do You Spend on Schoolwork? Part of the How Do You Homeschool series on Homeschool Coffee Break @ kympossibleblog.blogspot.com

I answered the How Do You Homeschool question "How much time do you spend on schoolwork?" last week, and I also invited readers at Heart and Soul on a little tour of a typical week of homeschooling through high school the way we do it. I invite you to drop in there and read my post Homeschooling Through High School: A Typical Week to find out how our weeks usually go. I'll take you on a quick walk-through of how she's covering most of her courses at our once-a-week co-op, doing a couple of courses at home, and how she manages her time. Or tries to! And even a little about how we try to keep up with the grading and record-keeping during our limited time, and how Homeschool Tracker Online helps me keep that aspect organized.

What am I going to do when you're no longer giving homeschooling advice?

What am *I* going to do when I'm no longer homeschooling?? 0.o

I hope to be around on the blog for at least one more school year since I'm planning on teaching at a homeschool co-op.
