The idea for The Center for Homeschool Excellence grew out of the need for better preparing our homeschooled high school
students (and ourselves) for college, the admissions process, transcripts and portfolios. We saw there was a need for affordable upper
level math, literature and science courses. We wanted our homeschool children to excel in their academics so we started the process
of obtaining charter memberships in several honor societies. We wanted our children to have a college Letter of Recommendation
from a credible source, the ability to hold leadership positions in a student organization and service projects to fit their
educational and lifetime goals. We also realized there was a need for parent support group meetings tailored around topics such as
dual enrollment, writing a transcript, preparing a portfolio, assigning credit hours and grades, what colleges are looking for, etc.Your high schooler benefits in many ways because we started The Center for Homeschool Excellence tailored around their educational,
recreational and spiritual needs.
After talking with many homeschooled high schoolers and their parents, we found a
common theme. We tailored our activities, classes, and projects around those themes. For your high schooler, we are offering:
• Homeschool
Honor Societies: Junior Beta Club, Senior Beta Club, The National Homeschool Honor Society, The Junior National Homeschool
Honor Society and the The National Society of High School Scholars
• Lab Classes: Biology, Chemistry, Physics (in process)
•
Advanced field trips that help further their educational experience and depth of learning
• Advanced service projects that foster
a sense of community, outreach and awareness
• Clubs that fit their recreational needs and interests
• Classic Literature Book
Club that helps stimulate discussion between peers. Learning that others may read the same book and get something totally different
out of the book. Talking with others to explore Biblical themes and applications through Classic Literature.
• The ability
to participate in a Student Government Association either as a member or leader. Give them ownership over their service
projects, field trips, book selections, community involvement, and social activities.
• Social activities planned for their specific
ages and interests
• Support group meetings for parents with topics relating to high schoolers like dual enrollment, how to write
a transcript, college admissions process, how to put together a portfolio, etc.
• Intimate Graduation with their class of
friends and families, Senior pictures, induction and awards ceremonies, Senior banquet
The sky is the limit on what each high
school class can achieve and we are here to support the process as much as possible!
