<description><![CDATA[My name is Lee Binz. I independently homeschooled my two boys for eight years, from third grade through high school graduation. Now both boys are off to college, having both earned four year, full-tuition scholarships, and I have started my new career as a "veteran" homeschool consultant! Upon my "graduation" I started my homeschool consulting business, The HomeScholar. My mission is "helping parents homeschool high school." I have three core beliefs about homeschooling that drive my business: 1. I believe that homeschooling provides the best possible learning environment. 2. I believe that every child deserves a college-prep education, whether or ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Some people think that a grade is a grade, but there is a difference between the grade on your tests and the grade on a transcript. Many homeschool parents think that if they are using a curriculum that has tests, and they give their child those tests, that all they have to do is calculate the average of all of those tests. That could be a big mistake!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Where do I find the best curriculum? There really is not one curriculum that's the best. There is only the curriculum that's the best fit for your child. This is why I don't think anybody can tell you what the best curriculum is, because it may not fit your child at all. So, one of the things you want to be thinking about is what has worked for you in the past because that's the kind of thing that's likely to be a successful curriculum in the future.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Junior year is one critical moment in time when you are homeschooling high school. In freshman and sophomore year you can kind of "fly by the seat of your pants," but in junior year there are certain tasks that you need to do. On the first day of senior year you really want your child to start to apply for colleges. This sounds easy enough and only applies to senior year except for one minor detail. If you don't know where you're going to apply on the first day of senior year, it's kind of hard to actually do the applying.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[So you are working on your homeschool transcript and putting together comprehensive records. It is all going well and the next thing on your to do list is a reading list. You recognize that including a reading list is a great idea. A commonly asked question at this point is what to include on that reading list. The reading list includes everything - all the books you read through high school, every book you read for fun, and every book you read for school. You can even include magazine subscriptions!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[That's really a tough question as a Christian because we know what God's calling is on our own life but it is much more difficult to know what God's plan is for somebody else's life. It is difficult to know because it is what God is speaking into them, instead of into you. As a parent, we hope, we pray, we assume a lot of things but we really don't know, it's between the child and God, and when they grow up.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Taking CLEP exams while homeschooling high school has many benefits for the homeschool student. Some colleges will accept the CLEP and some will not. Some will take them in varying degrees. There can be benefits with any of them. One thing to remember is to choose your colleges wisely. As an example, Seattle Pacific University will take a whole year of college by CLEP. Every time we passed a CLEP it represented many thousands of dollars to us. Not only that, even though we didn't end up using those CLEPs, they still earned us fabulous scholarships.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many homeschool parents feel that in order to homeschool high school you need to be able to teach the advanced subjects. When you find yourself unable to do it successfully you feel like homeschooling high school is impossible. You could teach the advanced subjects if you wanted to, but you don't necessarily have to. You can choose to work ahead, learn the subject, study it in advance, and have your children learn it. The good news is you don't have to do that!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It's not uncommon for students of public, private, or those that are homeschooled to have 35 or more credits. The recommendation of 24 is your bare minimum if you need a big scholarship. Keep in mind that it's a win-win situation; what could possibly go wrong if you do more than enough? They might come out better educated and better prepared for adulthood, but nothing bad is going to happen if they have more than enough credits.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I was reading through Proverbs, looking for some direct instruction about finances, and I stumbled upon something very interesting. Read these scripture verses, and see if you notice a theme: Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. (Proverbs 3:13-14) How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!]]></description>

If they do not, colleges will often offer an alternative to an accredited transcript, like a GED or other testing. After all, some public high schools are not accredited either.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I was talking with a homeschool mom at the pool - "talking" is the very loosest sense of the word. I had just swam 20 minutes of crawl stroke, and I was incredibly short of breath. The other mom said that she avoids such fatigue by alternating crawl stroke and breast stroke.

In junior and senior year of high school, you can take college classes that are placed on the high school transcript.]]></description>
