Teaching Writing – High School Essay Intensive {IEW Review}

Teaching Writing – High School Essay Intensive {IEW Review}

Over the years, several homeschooling moms have asked my advice on how to teach writing to their teens. I’ve never felt confident recommending a single resource in the past,  because I haven’t come across a comprehensive, well designed program.  Teaching high school writing can be intimidating, but after working our way through High School Essay Intensive from Institute for Excellence in Writing with […]

Journalism Courses for High School Homeschoolers

Journalism Courses for High School Homeschoolers

As a journalist and a homeschool mom, I feel that it’s important for all high school students to learn the basics of journalism, to develop an understanding how the media influence us and to be critical and careful in their news consumption.  Whether your homeschooled student is interested in media ethics, developing their reporting and […]

7 Colleges for Homeschooled, Unschooled and Self-Directed Learners

7 Colleges for Homeschooled, Unschooled and Self-Directed Learners

  I began researching colleges last year, when my daughter began her Freshman year of homeschooling high school. Does that sound a bit early? I feel that the more I know about college requirements for homeschooled students, the more effectively I can prepare my daughter for the admissions process. I think as a homeschool parent, it’s essential to know all the options available. […]

16 Hours in Lake Placid

This is the story of  a wedding, a road trip and finding direction. We set out at the crack of dawn to drive north on a damp icky September morning. It was actually 9:30, but it felt earlier because it was Saturday. We were on our way to a wedding, in Lake Placid. ON Lake […]
