When people learn that we’ve done a 5th year with some of our high schoolers, they want to hear more.

How about you?

My guess is if you clicked to read this pot, there’s a reason you are considering a 5th year for your high schooler, but you have a ton of questions.

I’ve got answers!

PS- Our oldest had a 5th year and still achieved a large scholarship to his favorite school. So, before you begin, take a moment to relax. It’s going to be ok!

Learning Experiences for the 5th Year of High School

The purpose for your teen’s 5th year will set the tone for what happens that year.

Pro Tip: Your teen must be fully on board with a potential 5th year of high school. Do not attempt extra time in high school if compliance will be difficult.

What are some things your teen could do?

  • Take online classes
  • Earn dual enrollment credits
  • Participate in internships
  • Concentrate on healing
  • Work on getting stronger
  • Complete outstanding work
  • Design and implement project time
  • Add to his high school reading list
  • Shore up skills

Since a 5th year of high school is not typical, there will be a compelling reason for doing it. That reason is going to shape the direction the extra year will take.

Goal Conquering for Homeschooling High School

A lot of parents tell me that their teens are still struggling with what they want to do after high school.

We are all about that!

Leaving time for our kids and teens to dream and experiment with what they love is a priority in our homeschool.

Dream Big & Take Action: Goal Conquering for Teens teaches you how to do what we do.

You’ll learn the process of mentoring your teen to dream and achieve the small goals to reach the big goal.

Then you’ll mentor your teens through the process.

Then put those skills on repeat.

The course is on special for $27 (regularly $47), so grab it up now and use it to help plan that 5th year WITH your teen!
