Homeschooling high school can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! In this episode, our community manager, Dawn Garrett, steps in as host to chat with homeschool mom Elizabeth Overcash about her experience navigating these crucial years. Elizabeth, a retired military wife, shares her unique perspective—having one child who graduated from a traditional school while homeschooling her younger two.

She talks about shifting from a hands-on teaching style to more of a coaching role, balancing structure with flexibility, and helping her teens take ownership of their education. She also discusses how she integrates out-of-the-box learning, like film studies and Scouting, while ensuring her kids meet high school requirements.

Key Takeaways:

The transition to homeschooling high school doesn’t have to be scary—it’s about adjusting your role from teacher to guide.
Structure matters, but so does allowing flexibility for real-life learning.
Giving teens ownership over their curriculum choices boosts motivation and engagement.
Planning tools like Navigating High School and Plan Your Year can make the process smoother.
Homeschooling high school is about preparing kids for life, not just checking academic boxes.
