My name is Jenny. I am an independent homeschool mom of 4. I graduated the first through a charter his last two years of high school. After I found several resources, I decided I was not going to jump through any more hoops. I also found your website through The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, I believe. You helped give me courage to stick to independent homeschooling. I want to extend a huge “Thank you” for all you have done and given to the greater homeschool community. I appreciate all I have learned from you. I wish I had found you much sooner than I did! I have now graduated 3 and have one to go. Praise God. My daughter has gotten into her first choice private Christian school with a nearly fully paid tuition in scholarships and grants. All Glory to God! It’s nothing I did!

I thought I would have to convince my husband that we wanted to spend this amount, but he is fully convinced that your materials are an investment in my daughter's education. That, my friend, is a compliment in the highest! He is very picky as to what he calls an investment in education! We've been talking about it, and I told him that not only am I impressed with your materials, and not only was I impressed with your session through the conference, but my true respect for you has grown over the years. Your posts and answers are just so genuine that you can tell that you just have such a passion for this. You've had all too many opportunities to show that you were just in it for the dime by suggesting that people pay for a session, etc. (Me included!) I know that you have a heart for God, and that shines through too.

I am so so so thankful to God for you. I spent the morning becoming confused and in despair over math and science next year. I was reading a homeschool forum trying to decide what to do for science next year. Some of the moms had the idea that you HAD to do certain things or your child's college career, not to mention life, would be ruined if you didn't do things a certain way. I finally remembered many of your encouraging, reassuring words regarding individuality and turned off that silly forum. I'm serious, I was nearly in tears. And the Lord brought your words so clearly to my thoughts.

I am done with my homeschooling journey and I still have lots of moms coming to me for advice and I always send them to you for transcript advice. I just want to tell you your email couldn’t be better for a mom who is overwhelmed and experiencing guilt and embarrassment over what she has not done with her lesson plans/records/transcripts. Purchasing several packages from you gave me clarity and understanding. It also gave me confidence to talk to people at the university level for my other son who will be a freshman this year at a local state college. The transition was successful for both of my sons. The counselor at the local high took our transcript out of my file, placed it on her desk, and said, “Wow! I have never seen a transcript like this from a homeschooler.” We homeschooled through seemingly impossible situations and years with severe financial and health crises. With each recording and download from you my confidence and clarity grew and instead of feeling overwhelmed I started to feel like I was doing OK. Thank you for not assuming anything and thank you for sharing stories WITHOUT JUDGEMENT about families who completely forgot about time spent on classes or didn’t organize anything! It made me want to take the next step!!

I began by reading a few of Lee's articles and signing up for a free webinar -- all of which blew me away. Suddenly, the idea of homeschooling high school seemed a little bit less daunting and possibly, maybe, doable. Previously, the idea was something that I tried not to think too much about because it seemed so overwhelming! I slowly gained confidence as I listened to her easygoing yet professional style of instruction. I just purchased the High School Solution and greatly look forward to implementing all of its contents. Thank you, Lee, for giving homeschooling parents the confidence they need to continue this journey into high school -- and specific instructions on how to do it very successfully.

I found Lee Binz while searching the internet. My husband and I set up an appointment with Lee. Talk about hand holding! It was just what I needed. She answered all my questions about SAT, ACT, CLEP, AP, and PSAT testing. She helped me set up a plan for the next four years. It was wonderful. The best part? My husband and I left the meeting as a team. Even today I still feel 100% better about all of this.

As I unpacked my office after moving into our newly-built home, I felt overwhelmed at the number of boxes and totes filled with seven years of our homeschool records. I knew that there had to be a better way to organize than my current system, so I began researching. Upon finding your website, I signed up for the free class. Listening to you share your experiences and give small practical steps that I could immediately implement, I knew that I needed your All In One Solution. Fast-forward a few months after educating myself and doing the work, I have now overcome those boxes and totes. Through the videos, handouts, and templates, I felt as if you were in my home guiding and directing my efforts to set my children up for success. I found freedom from clutter, established a system that works, and gained confidence in presenting these records accurately and professionally. Thank you, Lee!!

Our daughter had chronic Lyme Disease. I was stressed wondering how we were going to get her through High School. Then I found you! With your ebooks, emails and blog I was able to create a high school centered on her interests and be creative with how she learned each subject. Your clear method for keeping course work and making transcripts was so easy that I was even able to help friends when they struggled. I couldn't have done it without you Lee! I feel like I know you and if I ever see you I will definitely give you a hug because you helped me to see that homeschooling High School doesn't have to be hard, overwhelming or impossible.

Your webinar has certainly bailed me out! This is for my son who was not interested in any more schooling and then suddenly changed his mind after graduation. I had started to buy your program, but after seeking help with our homeschool group they told me not to bother with a transcript. I will be telling everyone in our group to at least take your webinar on transcripts. I agree this should be done no matter if we think they will go on to college or not.

Lee Binz's wonderful resources helped me homeschool my boys through high school. Every college and scholarship they applied to accepted the transcripts and course descriptions that her books helped me create. I was able to confidently assign grades and credit hours to homeschool classes based on curriculum, to classes I designed myself, and to individual study classes based on the interests of my teens. Lee's resources also helped me understand the process of applying for scholarships. Her mentorship helped create a path to college for our kids. I recommend Lee's books and teaching sessions to everyone who asks me about homeschooling high school!

Thank you so much for sharing your personal journey, expertise, and encouragement! Our family knows that homeschooling is exactly where God wants us, but sometimes, while it seems we're trudging through the trenches, your advice is exactly what God uses to keep me focused and productive. Homeschooling 3 high schoolers and having two preschoolers, keeps me pretty much permanently logged in to your site!

I ran across a story in an article that referenced how much Lee Binz had helped the author with homeschooling high school, so I decided to give her a call. She had a special “Gold Club” membership which included access to her resources, a special email address, and a 20-minute phone consultation with her once a week to pick her brain about any questions or concerns I might have. I decided to take advantage of that since I could not rely on myself to remember anything about what I read in her articles or heard on her webinars. I downloaded everything she offered regarding high school credits, transcripts, extra curricular activities, etc., and I organized them in folders on my computer where I could access them at any given time. This was an invaluable asset to me during our 4 years of high school! Lee gave me access to links for all her resources that I needed to prepare for my daughter’s Freshmen year. She also had a form that detailed what I needed to do during each subsequent year of high school (subjects to consider, standardized tests to take with website addresses, when to apply for college scholarships, when to send transcripts, etc.), and during any given year would also point me to what I needed to read and download to prepare for the next year. Then, when I started doing my daughter’s transcript, college applications, scholarship applications, college visits, scholarship interviews, etc., I was constantly emailing Lee for advice and information. And, she never failed me! As a result of my Gold Club Membership, my daughter was able to graduate at 16 and get a $60,000 Presidential Scholarship at her university of choice.

I want you to know how much your work has meant to me. I attended your workshop at the AZ homeschool convention a few years ago and loved it. Much of your advice has rung in my ears many times over my daughter’s high school journey. I’ve even tried attending other training for homeschooling through high school and transcript creation. They left me discouraged, overwhelmed, and feeling like I’m not doing enough as a homeschool parent. By contrast, your course gave me a sense of peace and clear direction. Best of all, it's do-able. Already my daughter has been accepted into two universities, received scholarship offers, and will most likely gain entrance to an honor’s program. Thank you, Lee. The homeschool world needs trainers like you to keep us grounded and calm and moving forward.

Hi Lee, Thank you so much for all the help you have given me over the past years. I really appreciate you and your advice. On Saturday, I graduated my youngest child who will be heading off to Liberty University in the fall. What a blessed journey it has been and you have been a big part of the success we have experienced. I am an organized person but your help in staying on top of deadlines was invaluable as well as advice about testing, college credits and transcripts. My daughter completed her 3rd year at Liberty this year and has been on a full tuition scholarship. What a blessing it will be for her to graduate with no student debt! And she will be graduating in December, a semester early because of the college credits she earned in high school through CLEP and community college. Knowledge I gained from you helped us to do this! Thank you again. I appreciate you and all you do. Anytime I have nervous moms coming and asking me questions about homeschooling high school, I direct them your way and they are very thankful.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions at the conference. I’ve been praying for an answer to my unique needs in homeschooling my oldest son. I believe God answered my prayers by sending me to you. A huge weight was lifted after speaking with you and your husband. It’s hard for me to let go and let God have complete control of our homeschool, but I’m learning and it’s getting easier. I will definitely let you know when I need help. You and your family have been such a blessing to me and mine.

I started reading your books and attending your classes when my son entered ninth grade. How did you know us so well when we had never met? As a Gold Care member, I couldn’t wait for Wednesday to talk with you because you helped me feel confident and capable. You were more than just a high school coach, you were like a best friend, only better. It was difficult to believe my kids would even be ready to attend college but it was my dream that they would. I agree, whole heartedly, that every student deserves a rigorous high school education so they can attend (or not attend) a college of their choice. I could never have provided that education if I had not been encouraged by you. As a stay home mom, my husband and I did not have the finances to help our son even consider anything but a local college. We have always taught that debt for college was something to avoid at all cost. It was you who prompted us to send an application to the most expensive engineering school in the State. I thought we were out of our minds but did it anyway. Crazy for sure, but it worked. This fall our son will be attending University with full tuition paid for the next four years. It’s still too amazing to comprehend. Lee, you have given us such a gift. I am still pinching myself because it doesn’t seem possible. My son is heading to the college of his choice and only has to cover room and board for the next four years. He is starting to receive outside scholarships as well. My husbands family was not in favor of me staying home to school our kids. Even recently, my sister-in-law said I should have been working outside the home and homeschooling simultaneously. Ouch!!! When we received the financial package I couldn’t wait to tell my husband that I had just made $200,000. Of course my son has worked hard and his Senior grades, as a running start student, were amazing. His transcript was amazing. His course descriptions took me months to write but I am so proud of the results. I graduated him last month with a beautiful homeschool diploma. We had a huge party at the park and he felt so special. All because you showed me how to do the hard things well. You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. God told me homeschooling was in my future and I doubted. He said He would walk beside me and give me the people I needed to do this task. He never once let me down. The day you decided to help parents like me, was the best day of my life. You’re a blessing to our family. How can I thank you enough for your mission to help parents homeschool high school. My daughter thanks you in advance as she prepares for college admission. Thanks for being my hero Lee.

Thank you so much for the wealth of information that you share! You have given me the knowledge and courage to do more than I ever felt possible, especially the ability to maneuver the high school transcript and college application process. Our daughter was accepted to all six schools to which she applied. She was offered various scholarships to each of them, and she received a full four-year scholarship at the best school of all. This scholarship covers the full cost of tuition, room and board... for all four years. Needless to say, we could not be happier! You gave me the courage to guide my daughter to write letters to admissions, scholarship and financial aid offices at each college. I am certain this made the difference. Thank you for everything!

"I have attended all the workshops, and purchased several programs. I have enjoyed listening to all your advice, always given with humor and compassion. I was terribly frightened to begin homeschooling a special needs grandchild. Even though I have a teaching degree, with 12 years of teaching experience, I was afraid I would be unable to organize her curriculum, and address her learning styles and perform as her intervention specialist. I could not have done it without your advice and help. If I had known how rewarding and inspiring it would be to see my dear grandchild blossom and succeed so well, I would have withdrawn her from public school years ago. All those years of trying to persuade the Special Education department to meet her needs adequately have finally changed to success. Due to her brain damage and cerebral palsy, mathematics is her weakest subject. But she is learning Geometry! Really learning! We are enjoying school every day. Our field trips are fun and educational. Our daily tasks at home are relevant to learning the school courses. She shines in English Composition. I don't even have to edit her grammar and punctuation. We are even utilizing our college textbooks as supplements to enrich her high school learning. Tenth grade is turning out to be the best year. I have printed out all of the materials you have offered. They are filed in folders ready to use as needed. Our grandchild has already had some online interviews with college admissions counselors, professors, and college students. Your work is worthy of the highest praise for your dedication to helping us, the timid, to become intrepid teachers. I am so grateful that you share your expertise with us. Thank you so much."

They told him his interview clinched the deal, and I had him prepare by practicing the questions you listed in your article. He said the practice helped him. I also had him practice a timed essay - in pencil - which could only have helped too. I just had to share. This is for the small, private, Christian school that is ABET accredited for Computer Science. It's his first choice. The scholarship is worth approximately $100k over four years. We still kind of can't believe it. THANK YOU for all you do and all the help you've given me. Now - on to my next kid who is a junior. I'll be calling you for help with his records in the near future.

Dear Lee, I attended the North Carolina Homeschool Conference several years ago when you were speaking. My daughter was just beginning High School and I felt lost. You were wonderful! I left the conference feeling energized and encouraged. I read your books, watched your Youtube videos and your DVDs. I can't tell you how often we used your advise in Dual Enrollment, college visits, transcripts, applying for scholarships, etc. I felt like you were walking beside us through it all. My daughter applied early her Junior summer (last year) to her #1 college choice (Liberty University) and was accepted right away. Then she applied to the Honor's Program early and was accepted right away. She received multiple academic scholarships and then received the Valedictorian Scholarship this summer which is a four year, full tuition scholarship. We are elated and thanking God for your wisdom and encouragement to homeschoolers. Without your guidance I'm not sure the results would have been as amazing. I pass along your website and information to as many homeschoolers as I can. God Bless you Lee! And thank you so much for ministering to our family!

"I met with Lee about 11 years ago. We were preparing to do a year of world travel with our 3 kids and I wanted guidance about homeschooling on the trip as well as how to plan ahead for our return (our oldest was 15 and youngest was 9 at the time). I learned so much about organizing my academic plans, documenting our annual progress, and creating stellar transcripts. Flash forward to now. My oldest will be entering a top law school this fall. It helps that she was able to attend a good college. It was also really helpful for us that her tuition was covered from an academic scholarship. Our middle child just graduated from a university where he had a full tuition, room and board academic scholarship. He's preparing for graduate school. Our youngest, who just finished high school, had scholarship offers from several colleges as well. I think Lee's guidance and advice was instrumental in helping me create a strong, academic curriculum, and to document and track all that we did. She also helped me create transcripts that highlighted my kids' academic strengths, passions and unique attributes. Lee is organized, positive, practical, and creative. I highly recommend her service. Thank you Lee!"

You are my all time favorite convention speaker. I attended the conference in Phoenix. You were talking high school track. I was on the fence regarding continuing through high school. Your talk gave me the confidence and tools needed to go forward. I will always be grateful for that. I still have your handouts and notes I took about transcripts and electives. You were such a wealth of knowledge. My son went on to graduate high school, got a scholarship, and is one year from graduating college. I have a 10th grader now. I always check to see if you are speaking. Your info was such a game changer for me. You basically took the fear out of homeschooling high school. I really appreciate you!!!! Keep doing what you are doing. You are making a difference even if you don’t see it. Sorry it took me 8 years to tell you. Thank you!

Lee is extremely professional and relevant to homeschooling. All her tips and recommendations are clearly explained and ideas I wouldn't have considered. The voice of experience (successful experience at that) is *always* valuable!

Thank you so, so much for all that you are doing. I have needed support like you offer for a number of years now. It has felt like we've been going on to the end all alone. Now I feel supported. I am just nervous to call or email you for help. One of these days I will be brave. Thank you, again. You are one of my heroes.

I listened to the webinar the other day while working in the kitchen, and I was so encouraged! I am currently homeschooling the last four of our twelve kids, and have seen "real time" how well our graduates have done both in college and the work force. Still, it was nice to have the reinforcement of the studies that Dr. Wile presented. I really wish that I had had the information that I've gotten from you when my older kids were in our homeschool. We had our oldest five enrolled in one correspondence school, and then the next how-ever-many in another, and it was such a stressful situation for me to get everything sent in on time. I mistakenly thought that it was best for the kids to have a "real" diploma from a "real" school in order for them to have a smoother transition into college or career. And to tell the truth, the kids wanted a real diploma as well instead of Mom's. This year I have taken the plunge and gone completely independent, and it definitely freeing!Thanks for all the inspiration that you have given me, Lee. I have only six more years to go in our homeschool adventure, and I want to do the very best that I can.

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the great webinar yesterday. It was a great blessing to me. I was feeling a bit intimidated by high school and was planning to find a diploma program, because I just didn't know how to do it on my own. But you have given me such confidence and even excitement about it. I now feel that I can stay true to who we are as a homeschool family, rather than squeezing us into someone else's box. Your webinar really did lift a huge weight from my shoulders and made me excited! God gave me the words hope and joy for 2018, and that is exactly how I feel about planning for high school now I can't wait to dig into the other resources that I purchased at the end of the webinar. Thank you!"

This 12 Keys workshop has been SPOT on for me as my daughter transitions from elementary into middle school- really just her development and not the "school. My role is changing and it feels VERY awkward. Your class even though it's for High School is VERY valuable to me to prepare mentally for what is coming! Thank you for your ENCOURAGEMENT and for being REAL with the challenges you've faced.

Lee Binz's wonderful resources helped me homeschool my boys through high school. Every college and scholarship they applied to accepted the transcripts and course descriptions that her books helped me create. I was able to confidently assign grades and credit hours to homeschool classes based on curriculum, to classes I designed myself, and to individual study classes based on the interests of my teens. Lee's resources also helped me understand the process of applying for scholarships. Her mentorship helped create a path to college for our kids. I recommend Lee's books and teaching sessions to everyone who asks me about homeschooling high school!

Thank you so much for the wealth of information that you share! You have given me the knowledge and courage to do more than I ever felt possible, especially the ability to maneuver the high school transcript and college application process. Our daughter was accepted to all six schools to which she applied. She was offered various scholarships to each of them, and she received a full four-year scholarship at the best school of all. This scholarship covers the full cost of tuition, room and board... for all four years. Needless to say, we could not be happier! You gave me the courage to guide my daughter to write letters to admissions, scholarship and financial aid offices at each college. I am certain this made the difference. Thank you for everything! God Bless You!!

I started reading your books and attending your classes when my son entered ninth grade. How did you know us so well when we had never met? As a Gold Care member, I couldn’t wait for Wednesday to talk with you because you helped me feel confident and capable. You were more than just a high school coach, you were like a best friend, only better. It was difficult to believe my kids would even be ready to attend college but it was my dream that they would. I agree, whole heartedly, that every student deserves a rigorous high school education so they can attend (or not attend) a college of their choice. I could never have provided that education if I had not been encouraged by you. As a stay home mom, my husband and I did not have the finances to help our son even consider anything but a local college. We have always taught that debt for college was something to avoid at all cost. It was you who prompted us to send an application to the most expensive engineering school in the State. I thought we were out of our minds but did it anyway. Crazy for sure, but it worked. This fall our son will be attending University with full tuition paid for the next four years. It’s still too amazing to comprehend. Lee, you have given us such a gift. I am still pinching myself because it doesn’t seem possible. My son is heading to the college of his choice and only has to cover room and board for the next four years. He is starting to receive outside scholarships as well. My husbands family was not in favor of me staying home to school our kids. Even recently, my sister-in-law said I should have been working outside the home and homeschooling simultaneously. Ouch!!! When we received the financial package I couldn’t wait to tell my husband that I had just made $200,000. Of course my son has worked hard and his Senior grades, as a running start student, were amazing. His transcript was amazing. His course descriptions took me months to write but I am so proud of the results. I graduated him last month with a beautiful homeschool diploma. We had a huge party at the park and he felt so special. All because you showed me how to do the hard things well. You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. God told me homeschooling was in my future and I doubted. He said He would walk beside me and give me the people I needed to do this task. He never once let me down. The day you decided to help parents like me, was the best day of my life. You’re a blessing to our family. How can I thank you enough for your mission to help parents homeschool high school. My daughter thanks you in advance as she prepares for college admission. Thanks for being my hero Lee.

I want you to know how much your work has meant to me. I attended your workshop at the AZ homeschool convention a few years ago and loved it. Much of your advice has rung in my ears many times over my daughter’s high school journey. I’ve even tried attending other training for homeschooling through high school and transcript creation. They left me discouraged, overwhelmed, and feeling like I’m not doing enough as a homeschool parent. By contrast, your course gave me a sense of peace and clear direction. Best of all, it's do-able. Already my daughter has been accepted into two universities, received scholarship offers, and will most likely gain entrance to an honor’s program. Thank you, Lee. The homeschool world needs trainers like you to keep us grounded and calm and moving forward.

Your latest newsletter is very inspiring. I liked the curriculum article and the straightforward tips on how to sort through all the various choices available. Your husband's articles are excellent; they’re consistently relevant, humorous and insightful. I enjoy seeing his perspective as a homeschool dad. You are certainly a blessing to home schooling moms like me. You have been an answer to prayer for me concerning my son. It was so nice to talk to someone who could relate to some of the issues that I'm facing and may face. Your experience and wisdom has given me courage to move forward boldly in my son's education

I watched Lee's 1 hour Grades, Credits and Transcripts Webinar. While watching it, all of my fears melted away and I was reminded of why we started homeschooling in the first place! It was the joy of learning, and a blessing from God! She gave me detailed instructions on how to grade our work, give credits, and make transcripts that included high school level work from previous years. Lee has done her homework, and done it well! I’m thrilled to be able to use her expertise to make my own transcripts for my children "Lee has also given me tips on making sure that I don't forget to include the extras that we do every day to impress colleges with our sometimes unconventional achievements. My son was thrilled when I told him that he could have his summer break back. After all, this is High School. This is the "real thing". It's time to have a real summer vacation. Just think, we may even learn a thing or two this summer, and don't worry, thanks to Lee, I'll be able to put it all on his transcript. ;0)

Hello Lee, I recently attended your webinar, "12 Keys to High School Success" free workshop. I just wanted to compliment you on your presentation. It was very helpful and encouraging. And I think it was even better than previous presentations. Kudos! I particularly appreciated the month-by-month meltdown calendar! It was good to know that you understand and feel the difficulties; it provided a clear road map to present the 12 keys in a logical and applicable manner. It also provided a doorway for me to get connected again to the many resources I have already purchased on your site (after a couple of years of complete overwhelm when it pained me to even think on clicking on any more info/help...I guess I was stressed-paralyzed.) So again, thank you. (And I'm starting to put my weak areas first!)

I just wanted to say 'thank you SO much' once again for all your help and input. I don't know if this adequately expresses how appreciated your wise counsel is and what a help it's been to me. I would be fumbling and procrastinating if I had not ordered your transcript e-book and become a member of your Gold Care Club. I'm so glad my husband said OK to letting me stay on as a member. It's funny that you would be impressed that we are visiting colleges, because, really, without your training, I'd probably be going along with our day-to-day homeschool business, with college in the back of my mind, but not proactively preparing. I cannot tell you how much I have learned from you and your materials--I just wish I knew all this going into freshman year instead of senior year. But then I started perusing the Gold Care site, emailing and talking with you, ordering other materials, etc., which all has served to get me planning and moving toward accomplishing some goals that needed to be addressed. I feel as if I have had a crash course in college admissions, and now I am so into it, burning the midnight oils nearly every night. I have learned SO MUCH from your materials. You have been more helpful than I can express in jumpstarting me and educating me every step of the way. So, I just wanted to say a very sincere thank you for being there for me and all of us who need a hand to hold as we navigate these uncharted waters. I'm so glad I found you.
