    Something I did was take a full college quarter (15 credits) in summers between junior and senior, then again right after graduating senior year. I did night classes. summer quarter here is condensed in time. that efficiently got me 30 credits total. It is $ out of pocket, not duel enrollment, but a great option I don’t think many think about.

      @simplejoyfilledliving  3 роки тому +1

      I think she might be a little advanced but most of the extra credits were because of dance and not letting CC required work go without taking credits on those early on or because she had to do one thing when she really wanted to do another like French. Almost all of her electives were from CC.

      @@OurHOMEschoolPlan we are not allowed to give high school credit for English before 9th grade in my state. They just need English 1-4 so all things English roll up into that credit. She did use it in 9th grade and I do have it listed in her course of study for English that year. I was also advised not to separate composition and literature into 2 credits-just 1 as English. That’s probably what colleges here in the south are looking for.

This did work out for us because we supplemented with Latin Alive books 1&2 to cover all of the material in Henle 1.

      Of your middle schooler is ready you can advance in different areas. If my daughter went to public school she'll be in 7th grade. Instead we took a semester off to travel and now she is doing 9th grade Algebra (Saxon) and English (TGTB). Also doing Italian including grammar besides reading, writing, conversation, and culture. If the child is capable don't hold him/her back. Grades don't matter when you homeschool.
      (We kind of unscheduled for 5 years, just studied LA and Math, everything else was child led. Then we did some catch up and was easier for her because she was older)

    • @simplejoyfilledliving
      @simplejoyfilledliving  Рік тому

      I have a video on honors courses but in general a course had to be both harder and more work than a regular class to be considered honors. You can refer to your state board of education requirements for specifics. Here they want to see extra reading, writing, research/experiment/project, and presentation for honors. This can be several smaller assignments or one big assignment. Katie did a statistics project for algebra 2.

    • @simplejoyfilledliving
      @simplejoyfilledliving  3 роки тому +1

      Along with a transcript, you should also keep a separate document called a course of study for each year. It tells for each subject all materials used, who issues the grade, what the grade was compromised of (tests, quizzes, papers, etc.) and the level of the course (college prep, honors, etc.). List all books read for every class and list all labs for all science classes. You might not ever need this but sometimes during the college admission process they will want more details about a specific class and you might not remember otherwise.

      Thank you!
      It depends on the school. In my state we have to homeschool under an accountability group by law. My group does my transcript for me, provides class rank, and offers a graduation ceremony with diploma. But not all accountability groups in my state do. So if I had to do it on my own, I would submit the transcript I had made and then be prepared to submit any additional information they asked for. Some colleges will be more picky than others. This is one way that I think dual enrollment helps because it legitimizes the work your child has done to an institution that doesn’t know you. In other words, if your child can succeed in DE classes, you’ve proved they can work at that level. Another bonus would be to take DE classes at the school they want to attend if possible (even online classes). Then the school knows your child can be successful there.

      We added a high school geography class to it (Abeka World Geography). The mapping class was comprehensive but in my state geography also has to have the cultural component. I got the information on honors classes from
      our counselor at our accountability group (required by law to homeschool in my state). We use a more expensive accountability group but they have relationships with college admissions counselors and are well versed in what colleges expect from a high school honors class. And that is more work and harder work than the standard class, and generally includes 4 components:extra reading, writing, presentation, and project.

      For dual enrollment, we selected one college near where we used to live that had many online options. We did this because a local college only allowed DE students to enroll in 2 classes per semester and they didn’t have enough openings in math to allow DE students to enroll in math. Since Katie had finished most of her high school classes, she needed more than 2 classes this semester. We wanted her to finish with a strong senior year. Katie selected the college where she wants to attend next year based on location and major.
