you decide whether it's the best approach for you and your

Red
Tails - a WWII History Lesson
Combine the movie RED TAILS with the Red Tails Educational Study
Guide on our site. The Study Guide includes terms to know, a

TAILS is a breathtaking tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen--the
unsung heroes who rose above extraordinary challenges and
ultimately soared into history. |

Two--Three
Years' Growth in as Little as 6-8 Weeks
Many children and adults

where to turn for the right educational assistance.

If you, like many
homeschool parents, have ever wondered about the
effectiveness of the curriculum materials you choose or the
progress your child is making, you may want to consider

If You Think College

I was a student but now I know why. |

Be
Bold -- Make Things Happen
Everything you thought that you knew about
preparing your child for the real world HAS CHANGED. Let's look at the
facts...1. The economy is worse than it's ever been since the Great
Depression 2. Unemployment is at an all-time high 3. The cost of college
tuition is the only thing that has not gone down in price, other than health
care.

Why
Are You Home Schooling Your Kids?
These are some of the most commons answers...1.
"We don't want their minds corrupted by the worldly influence and secular
teachings of our public school system." 2. "Our public school system in our
area is horrible." 3. "We can't afford private school and even if we could
we're not so sure that the influence our kids would be exposed to is any
better than the public school system." |

financial aid. There are many types of financial assistance

Is Online Drivers Ed right for your child?
Many teens have one word for driver's education: boring. When I took drivers
ed, I gave up my Saturdays for two months. They used scare-tactics, dull
material, and at times, even taught us dated information. The worse part was
that I somehow found a way to tune out after the first two hours. Nowadays,
online drivers ed classes offer teens a fun and interactive way to take drivers
ed. They can take the course from the comfort of their own home—making it an
ideal solution for homeschooled teens. |

Keystone - Because Results Matter
Once a parent realizes that there are differences among the
long distance options, the big question arises, how does one
go about choosing a long distance educational program? Does
the parent look at cost? Probably. At the curriculum? Most
definitely. But how about looking at the results/success of
the program? Aren't results and success an appropriate gauge
for judging just about anything, especially a school?
Keystone National High School (for grades 6-12) would like
you to look at their results. |

Preparing Homeschoolers for College Admission
As parents, we want our children to aim high and to believe
the goal of attending college is achievable. To help our
children meet this goal, we sacrifice to provide the
opportunities that will allow them to attend college. We
invest in their futures monetarily, we help them with
homework, we advise them, we entice them, and we push them.
We do all that we can to maximize our children's
opportunities! |

High School Literature - An Important And Enjoyable
Subject To Share With Your Teenager
Why is the study of high school literature so important? Of
course, we want our children to be well read, and hopefully
to enjoy reading in general. But at the high school level,
perhaps reading is secondary to the resulting thought
processes. When a student reads, a student also thinks. The
critical and creative thought processes, discussions, and
debates that result when a student and teacher analyze and
interpret a piece of literature are boundless. Doing this
within the family unit allows the parents the ability to
interject their feeling, beliefs, values and ideas, making
the entire process a learning and bonding experience.
Following, are suggestions that will make this process an
enjoyable one for you and your family. |
| |
Homeschooling Your Child Through High School
Home schooling
throughout the high school years is very appealing for many
families. No one can underestimate the demands of High
School, especially in this competitive time for young
adults, as they prepare for college and their future
livelihood. Preparing a high school curriculum for your
student can be a daunting task. No matter what type of
student your child is, you should focus on a strong breadth
of courses for their High School years. |

Getting a Jump on College Credit
The University of Missouri, through their Center for
Distance and Independent Study, has exceptional programs of
interest to all homeschoolers, including elementary, middle,
and high-school programs, plus their dual-enrollment
program, which saves high-school families time and money by
allowing their high-school students to earn college credit
while still attending high school. |

Prepare for College
With a Proven Homeschool Partner
Is your homeschooler thinking about college? Partnering with
a college prep homeschool program and a college counselor
will save you from many sleepless nights, especially during
a recession. A reputable college prep homeschool program
must have the appropriate services in place to hold your
hand and advise you as you chart the unknown waters of the
college application process. Many families don't realize
there are steps to take as early as middle school to ensure
your child's college placement. And during these hard
economic times, families can benefit from a knowledgeable
financial aid and scholarship advisor. |

Homeschooling the
College Bound Student
There are many reasons for homeschooling a student – some of
the most commonly stated are: 1) to provide individualized
instruction to meet a students' needs, 2) to include
religious or other important values that are not offered
elsewhere; or, 3) to allow a student to work at their own
pace. |

High School
Homeschooling FAQ's
While still firmly committed to the idea of homeschooling
and the choices it provides, many parents begin to second
guess their decision as their child approaches the high
school age. Some believe they are not qualified to teach the
challenging subject matter, others worry that their child
will have difficulty being accepted into a college without a
traditional high school diploma, and still others worry that

Homeschoolers
Today's Colleges Want You
In the early 1980's, mass media jumped on the news that
Grant, the eldest homeschooled son of Micki and David
Colfax, gained entrance to Harvard University. Grant's
appearance on The Tonight Show marked the beginning of the
media's fascination with the idea that young men and women
who never attended school could get into some of the
nation's most prestigious universities and colleges. Today,
homeschoolers moving on to college has become a matter of
course, so there's no reason to miss the rewards of
homeschooling, even during the high school years, if your
child wants to attend college. |

Financial Help for
Homeschooling Support Groups
Homeschooling has always been more of a grassroots endeavor
which lets families stay true to their philosophies by
allowing them to create individualized learning environments
and educational programs to meet their own needs. It also
means that like-minded individuals can collaborate to
improve the process through supportive groups without the
bureaucracy associated with traditional school
organizations. |

Awesome Test Taking Strategies
Most states require
some achievement testing on a scheduled basis and
many homeschooling families use standardized tests
as an evaluation tool. Either way, standardized
achievement tests are a part of homeschooling and
just like traditional students, homeschoolers need
to know how best to succeed. |
