The best part of homeschooling high school is engaging in fun and meaningful activities beyond academics. When not confined to a public school desk for many hours each day, children have time to discover and explore their passion!
High school activities are important, not only for the joy the experiences create, but also the impression they will leave with colleges and future employers.
Your list of high school activities becomes part of a comprehensive college application package, and can be included on their resume for a job search. This will be a pretty handy list to have!
