About this Episode
How do you build a high school plan that actually fits your teen?
Zan Tyler and veteran homeschool mom Beth Martin get practical about shaping the high school years around your child’s strengths, interests, and future goals. They talk co-ops, creative electives, transcripts, college planning, and the many paths available after graduation. Zan shares how real-life experiences became meaningful credits for her own children, while Beth explains why it’s wise to plan ahead without locking your teen into one future.
Homeschooling high school doesn’t have to follow a factory model. You can build something purposeful, flexible, and uniquely suited to your child.

Podcast Sponsor
At BJU Press Homeschool, we’re committed to providing children an education from a biblical worldview that is academically sound and challenges them to advance, think critically, and live like Christ. This type of education is not often possible in public schools because of the number of children taught in a classroom, a difference in worldview, and peer and societal pressure to conform. Homeschooling allows parents to instruct and disciple their children without daily fighting messages from an opposing worldview taught in the classroom. And with tuition costs and fees for private schooling or tutoring, homeschooling may be the only option for parents who are concerned for their children’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
