Our High School Homeschool Curriculum Choices (for 9th & 12th)

Inside: Our homeschool High School curriculum for ninth and twelveth grade.

After having Hand, Foot, and Mouth ravish our house, we are back in the full swing of things. And that means I have TWO in high school!

This year I will be graduating Raena, my oldest, which is both exciting and a little sad. There were many times when I wasn’t sure I could homeschool high school. But we persevered, found what worked for us, and now here we are! Eight months away from launching our first arrow into the world and praying we’ve done enough she sails straight.

This year will be full of filling out applications for both colleges and scholarships. Her first scholarship award (for 4 years tuition!) came in the mail a week or so ago making it all the more real.

Allie, my second oldest, started her first year of high school and that is a different sort of exciting. She’s as different from her sister as day from night. Despite having done this once before, I feel like I’m on a new journey. Thankfully, I’ve more confidence now and know it can be done.

I am really looking forward to our year!

Raena’s classes are mostly filler because she doesn’t really need much to be done. Even though I get to determine her graduation requirements, I try to make sure we meet the entrance qualifications for colleges she is interested in.

Allie’s courses are a little elective heavy right now. Once she figures out which ones she’s really interested in pursuing, we’ll narrow it down.

Homeschool Extracurriculars

Aside from their regular classes, both are active in our community. They’ve both been selected to participate in our city’s Teen Court program and are very excited for that.

Raena is serving on the choir council as the historian at the local high school.

Allie was selected to be part of the Police cadet program and has been participating in boot camp the last several weeks.

Both girls are still active in the local young adult program at our library.

Both hold leadership positions in our local church youth groups.

Allie is also hoping to try out as catcher for the high schools softball team in the fall.

They should be delightfully busy this year. Thankfully, Raena earned her license just before school started so she is able to drive them to all their myriad activities.

Did you know that SchoolhouseTeachers.com gives you access to curriculum from other companies as well?

A membership will allow you to access history courses from DriveThru History and TruthQuest as well as self-paced math classes from Mr. D Math. There are also others in addition to myriad other classes. Some of these classes would be more than a membership to SchoolhouseTeachers.com if you purchased them separately!

This is one of the reason why our family loves SchoolhouseTeachers.com for our high school homeschool curriculum. Right now they are running a back-to-school special that you don’t want to miss.
