My older daughter was 95% home schooled. She just graduated from university, top student. She did decide to take a few specific courses in high school when she was 16 but that was her choice, she never went full time to school. So you can totally do it, it can go great. Try and find a local community to be a part of.
I should note that technically she has always been a distant learner which is a distinction made locally (British Columbia, Canada). She was enrolled in basically what is a school for home learners which counts a school but just acts as a support mechanism for home learners, you can do whatever you want.
I have a younger daughter who was also mostly home schooled but is now attending high school full time by her choice. So she is taking a somewhat different path and she is a top student as well despite basically having never studied the previous curriculum. Our style of home schooling has been study whatever you're interested in, not following any specific curriculum.
- nate_meurer 5y agoWhat's your experience with homeschool curricula? Have you found any that you really like?
- YZF 5y agoLike I said we didn't really. We generally let the kids explore. Lots of reading, just everything. My older daughter spent some time studying how to perform magic tricks. She did a lot of art, jewelry, painting, sculptures. There is a local community that organized some activities like science fairs, various day trips etc.
