"Planning High School Courses" - Experienced hikers know to never begin a demanding journey without a good map and a strong plan. For homeschooling parents, it’s even more important to establish a solid plan toward high school graduation. In this easy-reading guidebook, you will learn the high school courses that are essential to preparing your student for homeschool graduation, college and career.

Never overwhelming, always accessible and manageable, each Kindle book in this series will give parents the tools they need to tackle the tasks of homeschooling high school, one warm sip at a time.

Lee Binz and her husband Matt homeschooled their two sons from elementary through high school. Upon their graduation, both boys received four-year, full-tuition scholarships from their first choice university.

So thankful for veteran homeschool moms who continue to pour into the next generation of homeschooling moms.❤ Read this because I was starting to freak out about high school. This book calmed me down. Thank you, Lee!❤
Good general advice, very short. Which is probably great for someone contemplating homeschooling high school for the first time, the "can I really do this?" stage. But that's not where I'm at. I know I can, and I'm arms deep in planning, and I need a lot more detail and specific examples for designing specific courses, rather than this very general accounting of the typical high school scope and sequence. Her more expensive and extensive "Setting the Records Straight" is more useful, though still not quite what I'm looking for, hence my having tried this one. Recommended only as a very first step.
Great info and encouragement for anyone thinking about homeschooling in high school. I have home schooled for many years and am starting to look ahead to our lan for high school. This book gave a great bit of info on strategies and encouragement that it doesn't have to be complicated.
