Dear Mom and Dad…

You are fully equipped to teach all grades including high school.  No need to fit in a box simply because it is one grade up from last year!  You have got this and Faithful Scholars is here to help. If you are not yet aware of the consistent individualized guidance, support, documentation, and encouragement that each of our members receives, you should head to your social media of choice and ask others or read our Google Reviews (found on the right side of the page).

Our goal with all grades, but especially with high school where it feels just a tad more intense and important to prepare, plan, and produce, is to encourage, equip, and educate our parents in the more foreign role of grading parent while supplying the additional hand holding, documentation, ranking, transcripts, DE resources, and eventual graduation ceremony and diploma.

You may feel that your high schooler will be stuck in the house with you 24/7 doing lessons at your hand, but the reality is, that by this age, they should be doing lessons on their own with you as resource and guide.

• parent: choosing relationship over academics every time as relationships are eternal
• support:  together, decide on classes, sign up for events, purchase materials, and organize lessons
• guide:  help them understand the rhythm and pace of the subject and/or class
• coach:  make sure they are learning and studying successfully by setting regular times to meet, check, grade, and layout the next section
• mentor:  meet with them weekly to go over everything and see if they need organizational help, time management assistance, or other

There are many options out there for you with one of the best being dual enrollment where your student can earn college credits and high school credits at the same time at a reduced cost.

Fears and myths might cause you to wonder if homeschooling through high school is a good idea. Fear of not being acceptable to colleges is the number one cause of a parent’s hesitation. It need not be so any longer! 

• Colleges love homeschool graduates.
  • A registrar who spoke to Faithful Scholars firmly said, “We are in the business of educating children.  What we are not in the business of is teaching them how to come to class, how to do laundry, how to converse with an adult, and so on.”
  • Homeschool Graduates and University
• Colleges tells us that their best students are predominantly homeschooled.
  • Homeschool stats vs Public school stats
• Colleges have one front door but dozens of side and back doors such as transferring from a community college, taking a year to do something amazing, applying to attend second semester once drops outs have dropped out, and more. Call your college of choice and they will tell you what to do.
  • What to do if You’re Rejected (denied) from a College
