Homeschooling High School by Design
Your guide to planning & implementing a personalized high school for your Out-of-the-Box, creative teen
Does any of this sound familiar?
No matter how much I want to be traditional, it just doesn’t work for my students.
I’ve said it many times!
Our homeschool began to evolve as a result of who our kids are and how it was to meet them where they are as learners.
Do you have doubts about your ability to homeschool high school- especially with your teen whose approach to school is so different?
So many people I talk to want to take the leap from the more rigid forms of what they think high school should like to the creative, exploratory, problem solving approach for their Out-of-the-Box Teens.
They are afraid to take the step, worried they will make a mistake that’s hard to recover from in the high school years.
“How do I help my teen to get better at his interest?”
“How do I allow my teen to follow her interests and still hit the requirements?”
“I don’t know how to help my Out-of-Box Teen to be successful in school let alone the real world.”
What if you could…
Homeschool high school without worry and create the high school experience you want for your unique teen with extraordinary experiences.
You Don’t Have to Sacrifice Creativity & Freedom in Order to Have a Successful Homeschool High School Experience
Let go of the baggage that makes up your educational past and do something extraordinary with homeschooling high school.
Homeschooling with a focus on critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity prepares our out-of-the-box, differently wired, and gifted teens well for their future whether or not your teen is college bound.
In fact, 93% of employers say these skills are more important than your college major. *

Homeschooling High School by Design not only gives you the information you need to homeschool high school well, it also provides you with the confidence you need to make it happen. I can get organized, but Heather does a great job putting my fears at ease.
– Pam Barnhill, Your Morning Basket
I learned more from this course than I did from spending a weekend at a national homeschool convention attending every high school session.
I highly recommend this class for planning your high school years.
– Ticia M, Homeschooling Mom of 3
Heather does such a great job of walking you through all of the steps for planning the high school years. I was nervous about high school, but I feel so much better with a good plan laid out in front of us!

Meet Heather
I’m on a mission to help families with Out-of-the-Box Teens homeschool high school with peace and confidence.
Homeschooling four of our own Out-of-the-Box Teens, two of whom graduated and are thriving at their dream schools with large scholarships and an Ivy League admission, I want to mentor other families to homeschool differently with purpose and peace.
I went from a public school science educator with a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, Secondary Education, to homeschooling four kids in a project based, relaxed environment.
If I can leave behind convention and homeschool Out-of-the-Box Teens, meeting them where they are, so can you!
Meet Our Out-of-the-Box Teens
Our oldest is a junior Purdue University with the highest merit scholarship and honors school designation.
He was admitted to the School of Liberal Arts for a degree in Professional Writing and he’s thriving with a minor in Anthropology. He dreams of being a technical writer post college.
He also has a chronic illness which provided a plot twist to his story and continues to give us a lot of experience tapping established protocols for unique students.
Our second oldest, was accepted early admission to Cornell University and she is in her third year working toward a Bachelor of Science in Fiber Science and Apparel Design.
She’s now an honors student doing undergraduate research with a minor in art.
From many years of a project based course of study to an Ivy League design program, her story is an exciting one.

Still Not Sure If this Course is for You?
Let tell you my daughter Rebecca’s story.
Rebecca started sewing when she was 8.
It’s the only activity she ever wanted to do more than once.
We found ways to explore sewing with her, always pressing into new skills.
As her skills grew, we provided opportunities for her through low and no cost community efforts, websites, and books.
At 10 she began drafting. At 13 she was entering design contests and she started her sewing school.
Her design was featured in a curated collection with known adult designers and design students.
She taught 10 students in 4 sewing classes from age 13-18. The income from her sewing school allowed her to buy new equipment like a serger.
Throughout high school, she took a course we created called Sewing & Design. She had five credits of this course on her transcript when she applied to design school.
She took on the portfolio with research and designs to help children with sensory disorders.
Rebecca’s experiences and accomplishments were rewarded with one of roughly 25 slots in the Fiber Science & Apparel Design at Cornell University.
In design school, she’s thriving! Rebecca has won art contests, made the dean’s list, designed a head turner for the annual runway show, and secured a research assistant job in the world renowned costume collection.
Here’s the thing friends, we can homeschool Out-of-the-Box Teens with peace & confidence.
And I want to show you how and to cheer you on along the way!
