With the new school year starting up August 12th I thought I would share what we are going to be doing this year. Student A and Student C Both are registered in 9th grade this coming year, however they will be doing a combination of remial courses and 10th grade classes. High School here does not start until 10th grade, however homeschooled students can start earning their credits in junior high and they get submitted for their transcript when they register in 10th. This gives them a chance to spread that course load out over a few extra years. Their upcoming year reflects this.
Character Education A and C will be joinging the younger children using Konos Vol 1. The character traits being covered this year will be Attentiveness, Obedience, and Trust.
