All goofing bated, eventually these cute kids are going to demand to look polished and professional for a college admissions board. They are smart, simply I desire to make certain they have a lot more adept things packed away in those minds and hearts before mama has to watch them scroll down the driveway with college stars in their eyes. Sniff, sniff.

Depending on what college your kid is interested in attending, I would check with the general admission requirements and the requirements for a item major/minor program as well. Co-ordinate to 1 of the links beneath, most colleges require these basics…

• English: four years
• Foreign Linguistic communication: ii to 3 years
• Math: 3 years
• Scientific discipline: 2 – 3 years
• Social Studies (including history): 2 to 3 years

Here'due south what I am hoping we can listing on their transcripts when nosotros are all finished:

Note: M stands for but my daughter taking the course, K stands for just my son taking the course, and H stands for honors level. AP is Advanced Placement, and those courses must be administered past an canonical college or fascility and will most likely cost a homeschooler a pretty penny, simply might also count towards your college credit. [I'm even so looking in to free Texas college credits for some of these classes – volition update afterward!]

Of form, we are just starting our sophomore year, and so this is field of study to modify, and most likely will. You know the person at the dinner table who loads their plate (optics as well large for their stomach)? That's me. Implementing things is harder than planning them out. Life gets smack in your way. However, information technology was really GOOD to do this planning and observe out that nosotros won't exist in deep water if I don't manage to get in all the electives we love before the terminate arrives without much alert.

We may or may not go in this aforementioned lodge, but this is probably the order we volition list these classes on our transcript because they fit the "norm" amend this way. For instance, our history programme allows for additional reading of classics and original source materials, and studying period art. I'thou going to give the kids a credit class for the history and geography portion, the art history (later enough hours are put in), and the literature (in addition to the literature they read for the writing/English course they have).

If we get most of that covered, I'll be thrilled. If they finish all of this they will have 38 full credits. I know that seems high, simply I really want them to learn all this stuff. It is just fair to give them credit for it if nosotros cover information technology and they do the piece of work required. I pass up to lower my standards because of public schoolhouse requirements.

Nigh colleges that have a minimum course credit full requirement are between 18-20 academic units. They only desire to meet that you take a broad and interesting high schoolhouse career, made decent grades, and covered all your nuts. Well, that, and it helps to sparkle on the SAT or ACT. Add together in a letter of recommendation and you are all set.

Since this procedure is new to me (and totally out of my comfort zone), I would honey to hear your advice on finding a actually GOOD conservative Christian college that isn't too far away from our domicile most Austin, Texas. We looked at Southwestern in Georgetown and besides the price, I'm agape that their motto of being focused on "fostering a Liberal Arts Community" could be heavy on the "liberal" office. I wouldn't know, so if you have any experience there, let me know. It is relatively close and the campus is gorgeous. Other options my kids are looking at are LeTourneau and Baylor.

Tell me almost your high school planning, transcripting, and college searching! I'd love to touch base with others in the same gunkhole or those who have already crossed all my uncharted waters and came out happily on brilliant shores!

In Him,

Heather

(who needs to make it bed and terminate hyper-focusing on high school planning before she gets bloodshot optics)
