Just wanted to let you know how incredibly helpful your book Setting the Records Straight was when I needed to write transcripts. Without exaggeration it was life changing! It's been many years now (about 10) since I graduated my daughters. I was so nervous that I wouldn't be able to articulate their education in a sellable way to our local university. I was wrong. It worked! They all got in, and even got scholarships. My youngest is an electrical apprentice but should he ever need the transcript, it is ready. When I saw you on Instagram, I felt like I should say hi and let you know how immensely helpful your book was. It helped me feel confident in a situation in which I felt very insecure. I hope all homeschool moms that feel insecure will find your book.

I want to highly recommend Lee's services to anyone who has questions about the high school years! I had a consultation with her yesterday and it was so helpful and amazing to watch the transcript fill before my very eyes. I think as homeschoolers we can be VERY critical of our little schools and I didn't even realize how much was learned last year. Lee's service is truly a blessing and her rates are very reasonable! I will be using her service again next year and probably every year until both of my older kids are graduated.

Both Jonathan and I have been raving about your website! He is a public school teacher (a fantastic one!) and has been sharing your website with his colleagues - he is enjoying his copy of essay topics. I have shared your site with other homeschool parents and they have also been extremely impressed with your vast catalogue of information. We will be sure to add your website to our handouts when we speak at homeschool events up here in Ontario. I look forward to speaking with you in the future. Wishing you continued success.

Susan Anadale, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine

The High School Solution is an online membership site designed to support and encourage parents who are homeschooling their children through high school. A veteran homeschool mom herself, Lee Binz shares the tried-and-true tips and tricks she learned while preparing her own children for college and while helping other homeschool parents do the same. The High School Solution is well organized, and it is easy to find what you are looking for. As I viewed more material in the High School Solution, I came to realize how expertly each presentation builds off the previous one. While Lee is consistent in her message and does sometimes reiterate something that she has said previously, each webinar is substantially different and stands on its own as a course. I am impressed with the depth of information. After viewing the material on the middle school years, I found myself wishing that I had known about the High School Solution when my oldest child, now a rising senior, was in middle school. It might have saved me a lot of sleepless nights. I am thankful to have these materials as my second child enters her eighth-grade year with my third child following close behind. I breathed a sigh of relief while watching “Senior Year Step-by-Step.” As my son approaches his senior year, I have been a little overwhelmed by all I need to do to make sure that his homeschool career ends successfully. Lee cleared those worries out of my way and gave me a practical plan to follow throughout the year. I came away feeling very positive about approaching this last year of high school and the college application process. I particularly appreciated how her presentation focused not only upon the practical aspects of senior year, but the emotional challenges that are to come as my child prepares to leave the nest. I’ve also enjoyed listening to Lee’s webinars on independent homeschooling and planning high school courses. Lee stresses throughout the High School Solution the importance of documenting your child’s unique path in such a way that his talents and interests are apparent on his transcript. I’ve come to realize what a great high school career my son has had and how fortunate we are to have been able to homeschool him. I have stacks of index cards full of notes and a heart full of peace. Whether you are just beginning to contemplate homeschooling through high school or find yourself in the thick of course planning and college requirements, the High School Solution is an indispensable resource. Lee Binz’s practical advice and wonderful encouragement will build confidence and guide you through the joys and pitfalls of homeschooling high school. I wish I had found this resource a few years earlier, but I am happy to have it now as my oldest child finishes high school and his younger siblings follow closely behind.

I just finished going through it and I am amazed at the wealth of information you have provided for homeschool parents and their high schoolers.  As I am in thick of the application and admission process, I can confidently say that you have done your homework very thoroughly, the information you share is right on, and this product is going to save many homeschool parents time, energy and money.  It is by far the best resource I have seen on homeschooling high school for college preparation and admission. Also, your encouragement is awesome.  I loved the Prologue for Easy Truth About Course Descriptions.  You not only broke the process of writing course descriptions into small, easy steps, but also gave Scripture to inspire and comfort along the way.  You understand the concerns, anxieties and questions of homeschooling parents and effectively address them all.  Not until recently did I realize that creating a Comprehensive Record is a process to be maintained throughout the high school years, not an event that I can just check off and be done with.  You address this idea in your material and it keeps the expectations of the user in check so that he or she does not become weary of it "never ending." Your understanding of the admission process was awesome too. As I said, you have done your homework and the experiences and information you share will save many parents hours and hours of time and effort.  Your product is worth every penny and I can't wait to recommend this new resource to all of my homeschooling friends.  Great job and thank you so much for sharing your work, energy, time and expertise with the rest of us.  You have been the best resource for my homeschool high school.

During the registration process, one of the representatives stopped me and said, 'Your documents for your son were amazing. We would like to use them as a model for others, as they were really helpful for us and especially for homeschoolers!' Of course, I followed the Comprehensive Record Solution that you provide, and heard about your success with the admission process…. but never expected to hear it for our own admission! I believe that his homeschool accomplishments, along with his Comprehensive Record enabled to set him up for an amazing start for his first year of college. It was super fun to be able to customize it to make it a little bit of a portfolio as well. We used many of the things you modeled in the Comprehensive Record for a music resume that we supplied to each audition at colleges he applied for. He actually received a higher scholarship offer from another university. Thank you AGAIN for a wonderful resource and training you provide to help us along the way. I would love to give everyone a vote of confidence for you! Thanks!

I still have two in high school so I have a ways to go and I still depend on her wisdom and wonderful resources for those of us who are homeschooling through high school. Lee's input enabled me to prepare a "Comprehensive High School Record" for my son which allowed me to present in a college-friendly format his uniqueness and his strengths, along with the details of the rigorous education he had received here at home. He was accepted into the college of his choice, and I received feedback from the academic dean and the admitting office that the content was exactly what they wanted to see for review purposes. I would not have known where to start without the specific and very encouraging help she gave.

I knew I had to prepare transcripts for college admission, and my son had taken the SAT, but I knew NOTHING about what I should be doing to prepare for college admissions. I decided to purchase the Gold Care Club, learned loads about junior year and homeschooling high school through the Club and Lee's other materials, and was able to prepare a transcript, go to a college fair, visit colleges, and finish my course descriptions by the beginning of senior year. Having Lee to advise you and hold your hand as you navigate the process will ensure success, as long as you do your part. She's helped me with two boys now, and both have been accepted to the colleges of their choice with scholarships at each one. I encourage you to learn all you can from Lee's materials and take advantage of all the support she has for you for this year--you CAN do it!

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.

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.)
