What You Didn’t Know About a High School Homeschool Curriculum

No doubt you've heard statements like these about kids who are homeschooled:

  • They're isolated...
  • They're weird...
  • They're not ready for college...

Well, we're here to clear up the misconceptions! A high school homeschool curriculum is a great educational option for teens who have all kinds of learning styles, all kinds of personalities, and come from all kinds of backgrounds. Here are just a few reasons why.

Homeschoolers don't live in isolation.

Homeschoolers don't live in a bubble. They travel, play sports, got to movies, and do everything else just like their counterparts in traditional high schools.

Homeschooled kids aren't any "weirder" than the rest of us.

We're all a little unconventional in our own ways. In fact, taking a non-traditional route for education can boost your teen’s self-confidence and independence.

As long as it's from an accredited high school, a high school diploma online carries just as much weight as a traditional one.
