Developing a High School Plan: Sample 4-year Plans

How do you plan a program for your high school homeschooler? What subjects do you teach and when? How do you evaluate credits? Determine grades for a course? What about the need for a transcript and diploma? This seminar will help you organize your thoughts and begin laying the groundwork for a viable four-year plan.

High School Transcript Clinic and Recordkeeping Help

Creating a high school transcript is easy yet a vital part of your child’s high school records. We’ll guide you through transcript essentials, evaluation of credit, grading guidelines and scales, and calculation of grade point averages (GPA’s). You’ll receive sample transcripts depicting other formats for you to consider. In addition, you’ll learn about necessary record keeping for high school and how to track your student’s progress through the high school years.

The College Admissions Process:  The Homeschooled Student's Guide

You are not only your child’s teacher, you are also his guidance counselor!

2:00–3:00 PM

Preparing Your Teen For Life

The high school years present an opportune time to develop skills young adults will utilize the rest of their lives.

Accokeek Teen book club

I’d like to invite any of the 13-18 year old homeschoolers to join us on the third Tuesday of the month, at 2:30 pm at the Accokeek Library. Last year’s group voted at the end of the year to do Tolkien as the theme, so we are reading the Lord of the Rings series. Each book in the series is broken into two “books”, so for October we will be doing The Fellowship of the Ring, book one (the first half). For November we will discuss The Fellowship of the Ring, book two (the second half) and so on until we finish all three books in the series. For the last two months we have the opportunity to screen the movies at the library. Gayle Oliver has offered us a great deal of support from the library for the book club this year and I would love to see some old faces and maybe some new ones! Feel free to give me a call at 301-627-6695 or email me with any questions. Thanks!
