If you have general questions about homeschooling high school, check out my articles, blog and social media pages. If you detailed questions regarding your specific family situation, consider one of my products (see "Store" in the menu), which deal with the most difficult home high school problems. If you need personal help and support, consider joining my Gold Care Club, which will provide you with personal coaching and guidance to help you through even the most difficult homeschooling situations.

We offer homeschooling high school help for parents at every stage of homeschooling. You can get a quick overview of the differences between our main products here. Explore our products more in-depth by clicking on the associated link under the 'Store' dropdown of our main menu. Here's a quick summary in case that's all you need:

The Total Transcript Solution (TTS) centers on transcripts. With the tools, templates and training included, you will be able to create transcripts that will exhibit all the work your student has done. You will learn how to assign grades, calculate high school credits and even how to include delight-directed learning on your transcripts. The Total Transcript Solution comes with an opportunity to get an in-depth personal email consultation with The HomeScholar.

The Comprehensive Record Solution (CRS) zeroes in on producing thorough records. All the training classes, tools and templates are specifically directed at that purpose. You will have the ability to create well organized documentation that completely reflects your individual students and all of their unique strengths. You will also be given an opportunity for a personal email consultation with The HomeScholar.

The High School Solution (HSS) focuses on helping parents set up a great high school plan. It includes lots of information on every age and stage of high school. It is best for parents considering or starting high school who want to get off to a strong start and have a resource to answer their questions. The High School Solution is a group of many classes all in one place for the parent to work on independently. And some people just like things all in one place, rather than having to ask me for them. If you are a very eager learner, this option is perfect.

The College Launch Solution (CLS) provides all you need to launch your homeschooling into college an life by enabling you to be their best guidance counselor and college coach. It contains almost 70 hours of training plus tools and resources that cover core training for parents and teens, finding a college, paying for college, applying to college, preparing for launch, and succeeding in college.

The Gold Care Club gives you extensive parent resources that are refreshed each month, including training courses, tools, and templates. The key feature of the Gold Care Club however, is the personal one-on-one support. With the Gold Care Club you can get any class you need or ask for, one at a time. If you want encouragement, or learn best in relationship, this option is for you.

The Silver Training Club is a "do-it-yourself" training resource for parents looking to increase their knowledge and abilities for homeschooling high school over time but who do not need the same level of personal support offered by the Gold Care Club. Included are most of the same resources as the Gold Care Club without the personal coaching. If you are a self motivated learner or have an existing strong support group, this option is for you The key difference in these resources is focus.

All of The HomeScholar online products (TTS, CRS, HSS, and CLS) include lifetime access, which is perfect because they contain a lot of lot of information but you don't have to feel any time pressure to get through it. Each product concentrates on a different need. Since every child is different, you are smart to invest in a product that will help you meet the needs of each one knowing that will still be there for your next student.

If you feel overwhelmed with the thought of record keeping, I would suggest that you start with the Total Transcript Solution. It comes with one month free of the Silver Training Club, which can answer your "overwhelmed" feelings. If you later decide to purchase the Comprehensive Record Solution, ask us and we will give you a coupon code for $50 off, which covers the cost of the Total Transcript Solution!

The Comprehensive Record Solution is very in-depth, with tons of information that might cause some anxiety if you aren't quite ready to tackle complete records. If you are ready and eager to get your comprehensive homeschool records DONE, you will find the Comprehensive Record Solution invaluable in helping you get through the task as quickly and painlessly as possible.

To help combat anxiety, both the Total Transcript Solution and Comprehensive Record Solution are lifetime products so you can use them for all your kids and you won't have to feel any time pressure.

Both products are great to couple with a Gold Care Club membership so you and I can talk each week and get your specific questions answered. The coaching and personal mentoring that is part of the Gold Care Club is why I have some members who have been with me for over ten years now.

If you still aren't sure, then I suggest you start with the Total Transcript Solution and later add the Comprehensive Record Solution as you build your confidence.
