\"A<\/a>Here is an academically-oriented four-year plan for homeschooling through high school, with an emphasis on preparing for life after high school. It’s excerpted from\u00a0Transcripts Made Easy: The Homeschooler’s Guide to High School Paperwork<\/strong><\/a>, <\/em>which is, of course, my favorite resource for keeping high school records;-).<\/p>\n

This is an academically-oriented plan, with an emphasis on looking forward and preparing for life after high school. Even if your student isn’t planning to go to college, it can’t hurt to have the basics in place<\/strong>, just in case his or her plans change, as they did in our family.<\/p>\n

One of our boys is in an HVAC apprenticeship, and didn’t plan to go to college at all and wasn’t so sure he needed all the academic stuff. However, after he graduated from high school, he started considering entrepreneurship for the future. He ended up earning a Business Management certificate, and is currently studying for his Associate’s degree in Business. Having the academic basics<\/strong> in place made it easy for him to make a quick post-high-school decision to start taking classes, and having a solid transcript<\/strong> ready to go made the whole process easy for me.<\/p>\n

Freshman year<\/h4>\n

\u2022 6 courses, 1 unit of each core subject (English, Mathematics, History, Science, Foreign Language, Arts\/Physical Education\/Electives)
\n\u2022 Read for pleasure as much as possible.
\n\u2022 Learn Greek and Latin roots for vocabulary.
\n\u2022 Establish solid study habits.
\n\u2022 Practice note taking skills.
\n\u2022 Begin developing test-taking skills (a\u00a0PSAT skill book<\/a> can be useful).
\n\u2022 Think about personal aptitudes and read up on career options.<\/p>\n

Sophomore year<\/h4>\n

\u2022 Same class balance as freshman year.
\n\u2022 Continue or develop extracurricular activities that fit interests.
\n\u2022 Schedule PSAT for the fall of junior year.
\n\u2022 Begin researching college, trade school, or apprenticeship options.
\n\u2022 Request info.
\n\u2022 Use test-prep books to get ready for the SAT<\/a> or ACT<\/a>.
\n\u2022 Take CLEP tests<\/a>\u00a0whenever ready.
\n\u2022 Begin classes at a community college, if desired.<\/p>\n

Junior year<\/h4>\n

\u2022 Six classes*
\n\u2022 Take the PSAT in the fall (optional, but there are benefits, such as qualifying for the National Merit Scholarship).
\n\u2022 Focus on time-management & study skills.
\n\u2022 Narrow down college and\/or career options.
\n\u2022 Spring: Take SAT\/ACT and visit colleges or alternatives.
\n\u2022 May\/June: Apply to two or more colleges, tech schools, or apprenticeship programs.<\/p>\n

Senior year<\/h4>\n

\u2022 Six classes*
\n\u2022 Scholarship search\/essays\/applications.
\n\u2022 Take SAT Subject Exams, AP, CLEP exams.
\n\u2022 Retake SAT I or ACT if desired.
\n\u2022 Continue good study habits and extracurricular activities.<\/p>\n

*Hands-on learning, college classes, entrepreneurship<\/a>, or apprenticeship activities can fulfil some of the class requirements, so don’t feel that you have to have six traditional, text-book-based classes. Mix and match as needed!<\/p>\n

\"Transcripts<\/a>Good planning and recordkeeping will help you and your student reach your goals (it’s hard to reach what you haven’t set, so goal-setting is a key part of the planning process<\/strong>). Take time to plan, then have monthly meetings with your student to determine whether you’re on track to succeed. If you work as a team<\/strong>, homechooling through high school can be a tremendous blessing!<\/p>\n
