Homeschooling High School by Design with Chronic Illness
Homeschool High School with Peace & Confidence, Even If Your Teen Has a Chronic Illness.
Do you ever have doubts about homeschooling high school?
I have the pleasure of talking with many homeschool families.
So many people I talk to want to take the leap from the more rigid forms of schooling 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.”
No matter how much I want to be traditional, it just doesn’t work for my students.
Sound familiar?
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.
You Don’t Have to Sacrifice Creativity & Freedom in Order to Have a Successful Homeschool High School Experience

Who knew homeschooling high school would be so much fun?

Step 4: Create custom project based courses and electives for your out-of-the-box teen.
Step 5: Learn an efficient way to keep your Out-of-the-Box Teen’s records along the way and how to quantify out-of-the-box credits.

Here’s Why You & Your Teen Will Get Better Results with the Group Coaching Option
Group coaching for self-paced courses inspires action!
It’s intense but productive!

- External accountability– to get you working and keep going on material so you could meet your goals for taking the course in the first place
- Coaching from me– the person you purchased the course from who you trust and want to learn from
- Shared progress– within the group, share your progress so you can get feedback from me and others in the community
- Community & a cohort– with others who are following the same path, working together and offering ideas from their experience which is helpful because of the varied perspectives
- Specific feedback– from the instructor on your own work through both the twice weekly video calls and in the online group format
I’m on a mission to help families to homeschool high school with peace and confidence.
The group coaching session is a way for me to do that using the framework of the Homeschooling High School by Design course.
The group coaching session will last four weeks from March 16 – April 10, 2020.
Four weeks of coaching with daily interaction and regular twice weekly group calls and check in times is valued at $2700.

Still Can’t Decide if the Group Coaching is for You?
Let me tell you my daughter’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, even if they have a chronic illness.
And I want to show you how and to cheer you on along the way!
Homeschool High School Years with Peace & Confidence
You can have both a customized homeschool high school with project based courses

It’s time to homeschool high school with peace & confidence!
