Homeschooled for my entire life (I can count the number of times I've been inside a K12 building without taking off my socks) and know 100s of former HS kids. To be honest, I did not love my homeschool experience and would have preferred not to do it, but I got into a decent college and now working my dream job as a software developer so I guess it worked out fine. A piece of advice: it sounds so obvious, but every child learns differently and has different features that will fit will with some styles and not others. Be nimble and adaptable. Don't immediately invest in an expensive set of math instruction manuals (classic rookie HS parent mistake) or commit to an opinionated learning plan without evaluating it in practice w/ your kids first. For content, the consistent thing that has set well prepared homeschooled students (or any kind of student in my experience) apart from their less prepared peers is outstanding reading and math skills. There are lots of other things that are really important, but if you have great reading and math skills then you have the fundamental tools to learn and do well in pretty much any career. Don't worry too much about the book you use to teach math. I mostly used Saxon - it was good for some things, not others. The most important thing for a kid is spending time doing math, practicing math, getting math problems wrong and working through why they were wrong. For reading, read. Encourage and praise any reading. Have lots of books of all kinds available. Most importantly, READ YOURSELF. Your kids need to see you read.
