Want to homeschool for high school? It’s a great choice, but where do you start and what are your reasons for doing it?
In these articles we’ll look at:
- some fantastic reasons to homeschool your teenagers
- curriculum reviews
- homeschooling methods
- how to get into college (and how to do this earlier than the school cohort)
- making friends if you’re homeschooled
- reasons not to go to college
- how to start an entrepreneurial venture instead of college
I’m personally interested in encouraging my children into an entrepreneurial pursuit instead of college. This is because I think there are more avenues for success if you are able to think outside the box. I think homeschoolers are more than equipped to do this and their educational mode helps them with this.
Many people ask why homeschoolers are socially awkward. After all, they do things so differently to mainstream children. In the article below, I go through several different reasons why I think they are different from the norm. However, I also point out why being different isn’t always a bad thing. ...
Acellus Academy (AA) is actually not a homeschooling curriculum at all. It’s a private online school that students can join at any time of the year. They can study the course at their own pace while still enjoying the homeschool environment. Acellus offers both Common Core-aligned and non-aligned courses. It is a...
There are so many homeschooling programs on the market today! Every website recommends its own favourite. How do you know the best homeschooling curriculum when you see it? Sometimes a recommendation from a friend is helpful, but their experience with a curriculum might be narrow. You can also look at...
I recently had the privilege of reviewing the BJU Biblical Worldview program. This program offers high-school-aged homeschoolers a comprehensive induction into a good Christian worldview. The worldview offered is consistent with Bob Jones university theology – conservative and very decided in its opinions. Students won’t come out with a wishy-washy...
If you’re wondering about homeschooling in high school and you’re saying to yourself, ‘Can I (or should I) keep homeschooling in High school? Will my child be able to enter college if they’re home educated?’ the answer is, ‘Yes – easily!’ We’re going to look at nine reasons to keep...
Many home educators think they need to use a curriculum that has some sort of homeschooling accreditation for their children to have any chance of attending college. Thankfully, this is not the case and homeschoolers can easily enter college with nothing to their name except a decent SAT or ACT...
Many children can finish or graduate early from high school and begin their trade or college degrees a lot earlier than most of their school peers. By doing so, these early school-leavers can also finish their college or trade studies much earlier than is normal. The trick is encouraging students...
If you’re worried your homeschooler won’t be able to attend college, university, or do a trade if they’re homeschooled, you’re not alone. Many homeschooling parents send their teenagers to school when children reach their later high school years. This was the situation in around half the homeschooling families in my...

Perhaps this is because our parent’s generation didn’t always have the option of affordable lessons so they wanted to give that option to their children. Or...
Seamus is a homeschool entrepreneur that I met at church. One thing that makes everyone love talking to Seamus is his sense of humor and thoughtful responses to questions. Despite the horrific medical problems he’s been through – problems that would throw the best of us into a state of...
