I thought we had everything figured out a month ago. Then we talked about it and decided to change some things. As usual, something will not be ready in time for us to start school. Maybe next year we won't be using something that is brand new and we won't have that issue!
12th Grade
Can you believe my oldest is entering her last year of high school and homeschool? It's crazy! She just took the ACT and did great! She wants to improve her science score though, so we are switching up our science plans this year so she can study chemistry and physics.
Math: Saxon Advanced Math, Trigonometry + Precalculus
Language Arts: The Good and the Beautiful High School 3 Honors (This one is going to be late, and we're going to have to use it digitally or print it ourselves..) Also includes geography and art.
Government & Economics: Uncle Eric World War I & World War II, Cliff's Notes American Government
Foreign Language: Spanish (The Great Courses)
Elective: Culinary Skills - The Everyday Gourmet (The Great Courses)
Science: Integrated Physics and Chemistry. It's a 9th grade course, but that counts for high school. And it's the only course that combines those two topics into one year. She's also going to use Astronomy: A Self-Teaching Guide.
10th Grade
High school courses are serious stuff! My son is learning all about tracking his time to count certain credits that don't have books and choosing what courses he wants to take.

The younger two will be doing Family School K-8 courses. These books are older and outdated; the lessons are all online now! And you can even have your children learn online in a group. Here's what we will study this year.

How can the youngest child be this old?
