Students using the My Homeschool Year 9 Curriculum are usually around 14 or 15 years old. The schedule has been designed to be taught over 4 or 5 days so families have time to pursue individual interests and natural learning.
Additional instructions for parents, including a Weekly Planner that both parents and students can use, are provided when you purchase the graded course. A comprehensive Resource List is also provided, making it easy for you to prepare for the semester ahead. Many of our resources are in a PDF format that can be downloaded, printed and read offline but also offer Complementary Links that families may wish to use to further enhance the lessons.
