Home Schooling Resources

When thinking about homeschool high school planning, many Moms start breaking out into a cold sweat. Teaching reading, writing and math have become a routine now, but those high school subjects can be pretty intimidating.

If you sit down when your child is in 7th or 8th grade and start filling in when they will be studying certain subjects, things start to fall into place. You can find your state’s high school requirements here. The states are listed alphabetically. When you click on your state, it takes you right to the high school graduation requirements for your state. You will then be able to see how many credits/units your child will need to complete in Math, English, Social Studies, Science, Fine Arts, and Electives. Don’t let this list intimidate you. You just need to take one step at a time.

The best homeschool high school planning guide that I have found is this one. With this planning guide and your state graduation requirements, you can start penciling in what years your child will do what subjects. Once you start realizing that the graduation requirements will be broken down into manageable chunks, you can rest easy knowing that you just have to take this high school planning one subject at a time.

When you complete one year and start planning the next, you can just look at what is on the table for the next year and work on just that year. Your job is just to get your child to complete one year at a time. While you have an overall plan for high school, you don’t have to concern yourself with more than one year at a time.
