Based on Faith Academy Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I can't seem to find any books to tell me what my 9th grader should know by the end of next year. I know there was that whole series about "What Your ..... Needs To Know", but I can't find anything like it. Any suggestions? Also I want to get some kind of idea what is required for my son to have learned by the end of high school before he starts college. Any book ideas for this? Thanks once again!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Have you read The Well-Trained Mind? Here is a list: http://www.welltrainedmind.com/great-books/ In ninth grade my eldest dd read: Gilgamesh A Day in Old Athens The Iliad Oedipus Rex and Antigone Medea The Birds The Republic (parts of it) A Day in Old Rome The Aeneid Metamorphoses and certain books of The Bible She had already read The Odyssey.

Tohru Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I think in High School, different things are required depending on what is going to happen after graduation. In addition to the WTM, there are books out there that help plan high school. I'm reading this right now and there are a few chapters that discuss reading material by grade level.

Based on Faith Academy Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thank you both... I bookmarked those books to check them out at the library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Also I want to get some kind of idea what is required for my son to have learned by the end of high school before he starts college. Any book ideas for this? No book ideas, but checking the websites of colleges to see their admissions requirements should give you a pretty good idea (make sure to check schools in the range of what your son is interested; Harvard has different demands than your local state U) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in NH Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Here is a link to the general education requirements for high school graduation in the state of NY. If your son were going to school, it is the minimum he would be required to have taken to graduate. But I agree with everyone else. I'd start with TWTM and look at college entrance requirements.
