razorbackmama Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I know it will vary, but in general, how much time does it take? I'm working on our fall schedule and need to know what to expect time-wise out of my son who'll be doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori in MS Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The Bible, History, and English take about 3 hours each day. My son took a long time with writing so when there was a writing assignment it was longer. The other subjects vary widely depending on what you use.

razorbackmama Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Just the AHL is what I was wondering about - everything else will be about the same this year. This helps tremendously! Oh, by "English" do you mean the literature? or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori in MS Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 English includes literataure. writing, and grammar exercises that are planned out for you in the student manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovemy4kids Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Just the AHL is what I was wondering about - everything else will be about the same this year. This helps tremendously! Oh, by "English" do you mean the literature? or something else? AHL is comprised of Bible, History and English (lit, grammar and writing). I agree that 3 hours a day, sometimes 4 when a paper is being work upon is an accurate time estimate. Some days the English takes longer, some the history, sometimes the Bible, the schedule fluctuates a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorbackmama Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Oh OK that helps! We will be doing different grammar and writing. It's good to know I can just lump those things in rather than scheduling them AND 3 hours of AHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly IN Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 We are going to do AHL for first time this coming year. We have been TOG family for 5 years and prior to that WTM all the way. I still incorporate WTM philosophies but needed a plan due to my job (working full time is NOT easy). We will be doing the Bible portion very very lightly as we do not put this on transcript (unless they are going to school to be ministers/preachers/missionaries and that is not the case in my kids). With my AHL boy we will be focusing much more on English than anything. He is my English hater (reading, vocab, spelling, writing you name it). That is our focus this year as his first year of high school. We are debating having him delay graduation but not sure yet. The jury is out on that. I hope that just the history portion of AHL will only take no more than 2 hours a day (he doesn't like to read and is a very slow reader). The literature portion one hour. I plan to do English WTM way not the MFW way for 1 1/2 hours. So I have to get up very early in the morning which means about 5 hours of sleep each night. sigh. He is worth it that much to do this. :) So the goal is to only have AHL history 2 hours and the English literarture of WTM to take 1 1/2 hours. I will have to come back if I am wrong.
