I have recommendations for 12th grade homeschool curriculum. Also, you’ll love my page Homeschool Curriculum for more ideas and grade level curriculum and my page How to Homeschool High School.
Take a deep breath mom this year is going to fly by.
You are in the final leg of your homeschool career (at least with this kid) at this point.
Your child likely has a career or college track picked out.
They might have already been taking classes to support.
And get a head start for trade school or college applications that have been sent. Too, SATs have been taken.
Next, it’s time to start planning the most special day and that is a homeschool graduation.
I have planned three and each teen is different.
Begin with my 10 day series of planning a homeschool graduation and Start the Planning Day 1 post.
We are going to finish the high school years off strong. That being said that does not mean that it has to be a rigorous curriculum at all.
Your child may already have all their required classes for college done, or they may be headed for trade school and even doing on the job training for their career.
The primary academic goal for senior year is to finish up any requirements your child might need in any of the subjects, get volunteer hours, and get more extracurricular requirements in.
What an exciting time for you both as you prepare for and enjoy this final year together, choose well but also soak it in as much as you can.
Tips and Recommendations for 12th Grade Homeschool Curriculum
- Math is generally a course in Calculus at this point but if they have not completed Algebra I, Algebra II, and geometry they should use this final year to finish.
- For science they have probably moved on to physics, but they could be doing anatomy, physiology, advanced courses (biology, chemistry, physics), zoology, botany, geology and might be dual enrolled in higher college level classes too.
- In 12th grade students have most likely already completed all the required history and geography courses, even for college. You can opt to include some things like psychology, sociology, anthropology, geography, world religions, or theology for classes that are more elective but are under the social studies umbrella.
- Language arts senior year focuses on word study/vocabulary and of course good literature and composition. This is a good time to do even more in depth research papers in preparation for college.
- If your child is college bound, they might want to take additional electives, most colleges expect to see at least six elective credits. College-bound students should consider courses such as foreign language, at least two years of the same language, and at least one year of visual and performing arts.
