RAR #281: Homeschooling High School with Rachel Kovac

Join us for RAR's Summer Adventure. 

How do we homeschool high school? It’s *the* question, isn’t it?

A lot of us go into homeschooling ready and excited for the younger years. Then as high school approaches, things start to feel… a little more complicated. To say the least. Navigating difficult subjects, transcripts, college applications, and alternatives to college if that isn’t a good fit for your child can be intimidating.

It’s no wonder that homeschooling high school is one of the most-asked topics here at RAR.

As many of you know, I have three kids who I homeschooled through high school who are now in college and beyond. My guest today is also an experienced homeschool mom who’s had two of her six children graduate high school and move on to college. 

Rachel Kovac is a speaker, educator, and the author of the new book, Their Future is Shining Bright: A Guide to Homeschooling High School. I invited her to talk with me about the nitty gritty details of getting your kids through high school, as well as to share some big-picture encouragement as you face the challenges of the high school years.

In this episode, you’ll hear: 

• Why the high school years feel so intimidating and what you can do to support a growth mindset for your teen
• How your role shifts as your kids enter high school (and why it’s something to look forward to!)
• Balancing doing less in your homeschool with keeping doors and paths open for your kids
