More on High School

Thank You for the comments you have left.  I appreciate your info!  I have been doing alot of research and have come up with some great resources.  A note to anyone out there just starting (or thinking about) homeschooling in the High School years.  Get the book The High School Handbook - Junior and Senior High School at home by Mary Schofield.  Emily and I have just about planned out the entire 4 years.  We also started with Alpha Omega in 9th grade and quickly became bored with it.  This year we have found some fun and interesting things to do.  We are working on the Wordsmith Craftsman, the student plays the different roles on a newspaper staff writing articles, being an editor, writer and reporter.  Also Total Health, instead of a "Science" class this year we are going to learn about our Health as God sees it.  Consumer Math, in my opinion is very important to learn this year.  Also, Around The World in 180 Days for History sounds fun.  We still have to make some decisions on a couple of other subjects.  I will post them when we figure them out.

It is such a Blessing to know that Homeschooling is still the answer, Lisa!!

I am happy that you and Em are finding out what will work for you.
I know those who are just starting homeschooling in the High School Years will appreciate your advice.
Keep it coming!

The book I suggested is The Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach.
It is available in our store:
