Vocational Training for Homeschoolers

Homeschooling through the teenage/high school years offers several different challenges. You may need to meet specific requirements and you may find that you are teaching subjects with which you are not familiar. In addition, many parents don’t begin homeschooling until their child reaches high school age. To help navigate this sometimes new territory, we’ve put together helpful resources to help both parent and student successfully homeschool during the high school years.

Benefits of Homeschooling

More and more children and teens than ever are learning at home. The benefits are clear.

Three of America's four desert ecosystems--the Mojave, the Great Basin, and the Sonoran Deserts--meet in Lake Mead NRA. As a result, this seemingly barren area contains a surprising variety of plants and animals, some of which may be found nowhere else in the world.
