DISCLOSURE: I RECEIVED THIS COMPLIMENTARY PRODUCT THROUGH THE HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW.
The year I turned 17, I was a little depressed. Being 17 was great, but it meant that 18 was next, which might as well be 21 or 25 or 30 and of course meant my youth was gone. Dramatic? Yes, but I’ve since learned my ADHD brain likes to go super sonic fast and looking ahead is probably it’s favorite! So, next week my oldest child will be starting 5th grade and naturally I felt the need to prep for high school. Thankfully, I get the chance to realistically look ahead with my latest review, the High School Solution from The HomeScholar LLC.
What I Received:
I received 6 months of digital access to High School Solution from The HomeScholar LLC. The High School Solution includes is a collection of audio and video presentations and a ton of digital resources that walk any parent through homeschooling in the middle and high school years.
How It Works::
The HomeScholar offers a wealth of information and what I received access to is only a section of it. The Homeschool Solution offers support for everything unique to the high school years. Whether you have a junior looking towards graduation or a 5th grader like me wondering what impact middle school is going to have on high school, this program has a mountain of information for you. Access to everything is immediate so users are free to isolate their unique needs quickly or, like me, can sit down and browse everything to see what’s all available. It is divided into four sections, How-To, Age, Stages, and Curriculum. Under these headings you can find webinar recordings by Lee Binz, the author of HomeScholar, PDF handouts, and resource links to a number of different articles and information. Are you concerned about testing and college entrance exams? Unsure how to plan high school courses or curriculum? Worried about reaching the heart of your high schooler? Overwhelmed at all of the possibilities? All of this is covered and more! Just consider this your starter course for homeschooling middle school and high school!
What I Thought:
Honestly, this is EXACTLY what calms my homeschool mom nerves. The trouble with things you’ve never done before is that you don’t know what you don’t know. And preparing a high school student for adult life, college, career or otherwise, is definitely something I’ve never done before! The layout of the website wasn’t super clear at first, but the author provides lots of road maps and encouragements for where you need to be so I figure it out pretty quickly. She also presents her encouragement from a Christian worldview, which I appreciate so much. In our own homeschool, we are motivated by more than just academic success and she acknowledges that on many occasions. There is plenty of discussion and resources about the non-college bound kids and the many possibilities of changing directions along the way. That’s real life which makes this resource that much more helpful. For me not having a child in middle school yet, much less high school, this gives me the tools to make a game plan and what to be aware of as we get closer.
