What about high school?

It is true that keeping a transcript and teaching a foreign language, laboratory sciences, and upper-level mathematics intimidate some homeschooling parents. Video, satellite, and correspondence classes may meet the needs of some families. Other families or support groups choose to band together and form co-ops. In this arrangement, families share teaching responsibilities for their teens—the mom or dad who is strong in math teaches math for the group, while another parent whose strength is science teaches that subject. For science labs, they might order lab equipment and materials together. Another alternative, one that is growing in popularity here and around the nation, is the use of home-extended classes where qualified tutors conduct classes once or twice a week (See Local Support Groups to inquire if home-extended classes are operating in your area of the state). Other high school options include enrolling a student at a vocational-technical school or even in concurrent college classes, which allow a student to accumulate some college hours while still in high school. Be encouraged! ACT and SAT test scores have shown that homeschool students score higher, on average, than their national counterparts.
