Everyday Education

Homeschooling is such an adventure– I’m glad you’re thinking about it. My four boys have all graduated now, and I’m so thankful for the time we had together as we homeschooled from pre-school through high school, and even into college. We all learned a lot in the process, and I’m sure you will too!Janice Campbell, Writer, Speaker, Director at NAIWE.com

I’ve written many articles and a few books over the last couple of decades. You’ll find those here, as well as resources for home- and family-centered living with a special emphasis on writing, high school literature, and homeschooling through high school and beyond, with topics including non-traditional college and home business.

If you are thinking about doing college non-traditionally (early college, accelerated college, distance learning, or late college), the Doing College Your Way page offers information on on distance learning and college-level exams to get you started.

And now, Get a Jump Start on College! A Practical Guide for Teens will help your teen earn college credit in high school.

It’s available as an instantly downloadable e-book. It is also available as a print book if you prefer. If you’d like to help your teen get a jump start on life, this is a book you need.

Teaching high school literature can be a joy! Excellence in Literature is a classics-focused high school English curriculum that is designed in easy-to-study units. Each unit presents a full-length classic novel, poem, or play, and leads the student into a research path that includes the art, music, literary, and historical context of the work being studied.

There is a week-by-week assignment schedule for each unit, and most context resources are available at your local library or online. This high school English curriculum is designed to be completed in grades 8-12, but is very flexible, so you can jump in at any level.

The curriculum is available as individual print books, e-books, or as a complete curriculum with all five levels in a big binder so that you can customize your high school English class. The five levels are Introduction to Literature, Literature and Composition, American Literature, British Literature, and World Literature.

Childrens Education

Childrens Education

The first stages of education your child will receive will be Primary and Secondary, these are the years between ages 5 and 16, however, these years may soon be subject to change, by the year 2015, plans are in place to make primary and secondary school compulsory up to the age of 18. The school year tends to begin on the 1st of September, or the next week day available if the 1st falls on a weekend. You typically have two choices for education systems, one is ‘state funded’ and the other is ‘private independent’ schooling. State funded is as it sounds, it’s funded by the state so completely free for the parent, small charges may apply for extracurricular activities your child may wish to be involved in such as swimming, theatre visits and other types of field trips. Private schooling requires payment from the parents and can cost anything from £2500 to £30000 annually; some private schools are single sex, however nowadays most private schools will cater for both sexes.

Whether you choose to go private or state funded, the curriculum is generally the same with some variation on what is taught.

Subjects are generally the same across the board, with schools teaching Art & Design, Citizenship, Design and Technology, Geography, History, Information and Communication Technology, Modern Foreign Languages, Music, Physical Education and Religious Studies, including of course the 3 main subjects – English, Maths and Science, which must be taken every year until the students leave.

Once this section of education has been completed, students may then choose to go into further educations. Once the student has taken their GCSE examinations, they may be eligible to move on to college or sixth form (providing they gain the required results).  This stage, like Primary and Secondary, can be state funded or independent.

During these years, students may learn about other subjects not typically taught in schools, such as Media Studies, Psychology, Law, Theatre Studies and a wide variety of other topics. Going to college or sixth form allows students to gain more advanced qualifications, allowing them into more complex jobs, or simply giving them the grades they need to transition into higher education once their 2 year course has been completed.
