Like chocolate and vanilla ice cream; teenagers and electives are meant for one another!

What better way to take the reins of their learning, than to allow our teenagers to have a little bit of creative control over their future and learning.

What is an elective?

Homeschool electives are homeschool high school courses the help supplement core subjects or are geared to your child’s interest. Electives are a fantastic ways to teach your teen life skills.

Credit

When determining credit, 120 hours is the minimum necessary to earn one credit, while 60 hours would be adequate to earn ½ credit.

Can you create your own? Of course!!

You would be wise to write a course description giving details of the course’s content. The HSLDA does a great job explaining this!

Why electives are amazing

Electives are a beautiful way to allow your kids the opportunity to try on and master skills that will help them step toward their future.
