High School Series

By: BTDT Homeschool

Homeschool High School doesn’t have to be overwhelming!
We are here to walk you through the entire process of homeschooling during the high school years from making a 4-year plan to graduation and beyond.

This series will have everything you need to keep you organized and on track!

YOU CAN DO THIS!

Hi, we are Maria and Nicole. We have five children between our two families and have both homeschooled from the very beginning. We are here to help you through this journey as we have truly “Been There Done That”.

The three oldest:

Three of our children have graduated from homeschooling with high school diplomas and received associate degrees from the local community college at the same time. The oldest of the three has gone on to earn dual Bachelor’s Degrees in History and Political Science with a focus on Economics. The two other graduates are currently attending four-year universities. One is studying Biomedical Engineering and the other is double majoring in English and Secondary Education with a minor in Psychology.

The two youngest:

The two youngest are still in high school, following the footsteps of their older siblings. Inspired by their achievements, our youngest kids are motivated to earn their associate degrees while in high school. We’re excited to see them forge their own unique paths and witness their growth along the way.

Homeschoolers CAN still do all the fun stuff! Check out our kids’ Homeschool Prom:

Homeschooling at the high school level has been an incredible experience for both our families. We know that we have provided our children with a solid foundation and the necessary skills to thrive in life: at their 4-year universities, the workplace, and personally. We’re both so grateful for the opportunity to be actively involved in their education and witness their growth firsthand. It has also afforded more time to nurture unique relationships with each of them as they transition into adulthood and mature.

Making a personalized high school experience:

Making a unique and personalized high school experience for each of them has been one of the coolest things – and you too can do that for your teenager! Doing so will offer an opportunity to not only equip them with everything they need for college or the workforce but also tailor their education to match their individual interests and passions. And guess what? We’re here to do this together!

By personalizing their high school experience, you can ensure that their education aligns perfectly with their unique goals and aspirations. Whether they have a love for science, literature, art, or anything else under the sun, you CAN tailor their curriculum to ignite their passion and fuel their intellectual growth. By crafting a well-rounded education, you have the opportunity to incorporate not only core subjects but also electives, volunteering, and engaging in all those extracurricular activities that will now fit into their schedule.

Together, we can create an exceptional high school experience that caters to their individuality, fosters their growth, and prepares them for a bright and successful future. Let the adventure begin!

Each month, we will publish one episode for a total of twelve episodes to complete the series in 2023
