Are you ‘hitting the wall’ as you approach the Homeschool High School years?
Do you need help with core subjects like Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Essay Writing, Literature, History, Government, Economics and Foreign Language?
Many of us face the choice of either putting our kids in Public High School or paying for expensive Private School. For many, neither of these are workable options. OliveTree has designed a program that will help you to continue homeschooling through the High School years. The vision is for a ‘hybrid’ school – excellent instruction by passionate teachers at OliveTree coupled with accountability and support at home from parents. With students and teachers working together in the classroom and students and parents working together at home, your student can be successful at OliveTree.
High School Mission
3. Provide a Christ centered environment where the students can develop interpersonal skills, and use teamwork to achieve academic objectives.
High School Mission
4. Do all of the above in a cost effective manner. The cost should be well below that for a full time private school, and slightly higher than that for a complete core subject instructional package.
The High School ‘Road Map’
To home school in the high school years, you need a ‘Road Map’ to see where you are headed. We have researched entrance requirements for area universities as well as Poudre R-1 graduation requirements. OliveTree recommends 24 credits to graduate. Each year, plan 4 core classes and 2 electives = 6 classes per year. 6 classes x 4 years = 24 credits.
