The following schedule and resources will help families guide teenage students through a successful homeschool experience. The suggested outline provides for structured group learning 3 days a week for 4 hours a day. Parents in a co-op may take turns teaching, leading discussions and directing learning activities in their homes. Students at this level will work independently on their studies during the rest of the week.
Parents are free to choose resources. We offer several ideas on the Hearthstone Education Plan website. Our resources and learning benchmarks are designed to educate the heart, mind, might, and strength. In addition, valuable information and insight from other home school families can be found on the Homeschool Moms 2 Moms website. Here you will find information about home schooling through high school and preparing your student for college

Parent/leaders give a short presentation on a math, language arts, and science topic. The remainder of the time is for students to work independently, asking questions and working with other students as needed or desired. If math, science, and language arts are presented each day, then the lesson should be limited to 10 minutes. If only one subject is taught per day, then teachers can give a 30 minute lesson. |
