I noticed that MBtP Level 1 is recommended for 9th/10th grade. Any problems using this for 11th grade? -
Looking for reviews on MBtP. The high school level is fairly new. Anyone have any experience using this? Thank you!

Your welcome! Heart of Dakota uses Bennett's books for U.S. History. You might want to checkout their website to see how they use it. -
US History 2nd Year Resources?
Juliegmom replied to MamaHill's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Have you looked at William Bennett's, America: The Last Best Hope, Volume II? It once had an option for online companion materials for students and teachers, called the Roadmap, but I'm not sure if that part is still available. -
I've observed two approaches to the scheduling of govt. Taken concurrently with US History Or Senior year with a semester each of Govt and Econ Is one more advantageous? Does the timing really matter? My 9th grader is finishing up ancients and instead of moving onto world history like I had originally planned, we've decided to do US history. We are homeschooling independently in California and while I don't have any intention of enrolling her in a charter or brick and mortar school, I was told that some schools require that govt/econ be taken senior year. I don't know ho

I see that Lori D. has already listed Lantern English. I just wanted to chime in to say that my daughter has taken two courses with Lantern and I've been pleased with the content and feedback. I love how easy it is to fit an 8 week class into our year and plan on enrolling my daughter in more classes in the future.

I'm a big fan of HOD. My daughter used the guides from CTC through MtMM for grades 5-8. It is a solid curriculum with rich living books. The reason we went with HOD is that each guide targets a specific age and skill set. I've never heard of HOD being questioned for not being enough, but quite the opposite. While we used the middle guides pretty much as written, we will probably modify the high school guides which are often said to be too full. I love the detailed teacher guide and find it easy to cut things if necessary. Some would rather have less and add in stuff so it depends on your prefe

Is there a preferred format for high school transcripts? My oldest graduated from an online charter school in California and her final transcript was broken down by semester. I followed the same format when I graduated my middle daughter. Now that my youngest is in high school, I'm wondering if I can simply things by creating a transcript that only shows her final grades for each year. FWIW and I don't know if it really matters, but she will likely be applying only to private Christian universities in California. Any thoughts? Thank you!

Opinions on Apologia Physics videos??
Juliegmom replied to Homemama2's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I’m looking at Fascinating Physics. It is an online, non-lab, basic physics course. Only basic algebra is required. I don’t know if we will go this route. I don’t have any experience with it. I came across it in the list of options for Homeschool High School Physics on this forum. I believe it refers to it as “almost junior high” level. https://fascinatingeducation.com/try-fascinating-physics/- 1 reply

Should I do Physics or something else?
Juliegmom replied to Juliegmom's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Thanks for the suggestions! We live overseas so I’m not sure about dual enrollment or if my daughter holds an interest in physics. When I asked her today, she said she’s leaning toward marine biology.
