If you’ve been stressing about homeschooling high school in Canada…this is the video you need. 

I’ve been getting so many questions from parents (whether your child is heading into high school soon or you’re just starting out) and most of them come down to this:

“What are we actually supposed to DO for high school?”

The truth? There isn’t just one path—and you have way more options than you think.

In this video, I’m breaking down what homeschooling high school really looks like in Ontario (and across much of Canada).

The biggest takeaway?
 
Your child’s path after high school should shape what you do during high school—not the other way around.

I’ll also share practical tips on how to research requirements, plan ahead, and build a high school experience that actually fits your teen and their goals.
