You CAN’T Homeschool High School

June 26, 2018 by Anne Campbell Leave a Comment

Many homeschool parents are intimidated by the idea of homeschooling through high school. They feel all of the fears listed above, and more. Oftentimes, well-meaning leaders in the homeschooling community add to these fears by making certain 'high school' tasks seem more complicated than they need to be--transcripts, for example. But here's the thing: You CAN homeschool all-the-way-through high school. In fact, your teen needs you now more than ever, but not in the ways you expect.

Homeschool Myths Busted You CAN'T Homeschool High School It's just too hard. I can't teach high school subjects--I barely even passed Algebra myself. Creating a transcript is impossible! I will fail my child, and he won't get into college. She won't get to go to prom if she homeschools through high school. He will miss out on all those high … [Read more...] about You CAN’T Homeschool High School

What I Wish I’d Known When I Started Homeschooling

May 30, 2018 by Anne Campbell 2 Comments

What I wish I would have known then, and what I have since learned, is that having a support system of other homeschool moms is vital to success and happiness as a homeschool mom.

Little Critter Little Blessings Collection
