Homeschool Better Together with Pam Barnhill

Can You Really Outsource High School? One Mom’s Story


Listen Later

Homeschooling high school feels like a big shift. Suddenly, you’re looking at advanced subjects, keeping transcripts, and preparing your teen for what comes next. In this episode, I sit down with Meg Angelino, our operations manager and curriculum editor, to talk about what happens when you start outsourcing classes while still juggling motherhood. We discuss our journeys toward more organized homeschools, and the vital role our online community plays in offering encouragement and fresh ideas. Listen in to gain practical insights on the changing roles as a parent, keeping students motivated, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with transitioning to high school. 

Key Takeaways:

  • Outsourcing reduces stress while ensuring a solid education.
  • Feeling overwhelmed? Consider online courses, co-ops, or dual enrollment.
  • Stay involved—check assignments, discuss lessons, and help with deadlines.
  • Options include live/self-paced online courses, hybrid programs, co-ops, and community college classes.
  • Teens need independence but still require guidance.
  • Keep core traditions like Morning Time, read-alouds, and discussions to maintain your homeschool’s values.
