For most homeschoolers, a quick check of their state homeschool laws can let them know what is typically expected. Some states require specific subjects while other states have no requirement at all. If your state has no requirement, then we suggest checking with the college that your student has in mind. Colleges may have preferred courses for their various degree paths. If the student doesn’t plan on attending college, then check out what local highschools require and take a similar assortment of classes.
