High School, College & Career Planning
|
| When: Prior
to 7th grade / ASAP if your child is already in
7th grade or higher |
| High School Graduation Planning is critical to
making sure your child is prepared for graduation, diploma, college or trade school, entrepreneurship, military or workforce as well as any state requirements.
In addition, social skills, life skills and work habits need to be mastered for adult life. We want to make sure that your
student masters the necessary skills and that the appropriate courses are taken between 9th and 12th grade so they will appear on
his transcript for maximum
impact. Some colleges have specific demands not necessarily required by the state. For instance some demand two years of a foreign language between 9th and 12th.
The earlier you plan the more flexibility and control you have over your child's secondary education (7th through 12th grade).
Once made, your student's plan is reviewed and revised at least once a year so adjustments can be made according to
his changing needs and interests.

What we will do in our meeting: |
|
Together, we will make a "map" of how your
student is going to get from where he is now to
graduation...the knowledge he is going to gain, the
experiences he is going to have, the skills he is going
to develop, and the courses he is going to take. Our
decisions will be based on your student's abilities, interests, and
after-graduation goals.
It can be helpful to plan with siblings in mind as
well. For example, timing required content so more
than one student gets credit at the same time.
Many parents have questions about state requirements
for graduation, transcripts, getting into college, how
to grade and document credits, dual enrollment, SAT
prep, and more. We can go over all of this at the
same time if you would like. |

About how long it takes:
|
|
Typically 3 - 4 hours depending on number of students
involved and circumstances. |
| |
|
What you will leave with:
|
|
A printed map of your student's remaining secondary
years.
With your goals and plans in writing, you will save
anxiety and time in the long run.
Decisions in future years are now much easier. If the resource or opportunity presented to you helps your
student achieve his goals, then yes, if it does not then
no…simple as that.
Sure, you may make changes as your child matures,
grows in his or her abilities and becomes interested in
new things…but it is much easier to change routes once
you already have your map.
Take more time once, and a smaller, more relaxed
amount of time each year.
You will be glad you did.
Just call Home School Rx at 717-612-1516 to schedule an appointment.
This type of planning is very important but can be
overwhelming to do it alone. I do them multiple
times a week and would be happy to make it easy
for you. Daytime, evening, and weekend
appointments are available. Over the phone or at my office, I look forward to meeting
you!
