Homeschooling by Grade Level
What to teach, how long it should take and what progress looks like — from homeschool preschool through to high school homeschooling, diplomas and transcripts.
Stage by stage
Focused teaching hours, not screen hours. One-to-one learning covers far more per hour than a classroom.
30-60 minutes a day
Homeschool preschool (ages 3-5)
- Read aloud daily
- Talk, sing, count and sort
- Fine motor: cutting, drawing, threading
- Outdoor play and free exploration
1 hour a day
Homeschooling kindergarten (ages 5-6)
- Systematic phonics and blending
- Number sense to 20 with objects
- Handwriting formation
- Story time and narration
2-3 hours a day
Elementary homeschool (ages 6-10)
- Daily maths and English core

- One project afternoon a week
3-4 hours a day
Middle school homeschool (ages 11-13)
- Extended writing across subjects
- Pre-algebra to algebra
- Independent study skills and note taking

High school homeschooling (ages 14-18)
- Exam board or accredited program chosen
- Transcripts and credit tracking
- Subject specialism and exam practice

How to homeschool high school
High school is where documentation matters as much as teaching. Work backwards from the qualification.
Homeschool high school diploma
Accredited program, open-schooling board or international qualification — choose based on where your child may apply.
Homeschool transcripts high school
Track course titles, hours or credits, grading basis, and dates. Update every term, never at the end.
Evidence portfolio
Assessments, coursework, projects, competitions, volunteering and references, filed by subject and year.
- Confirm the qualifications your target universities accept, in writing where possible
- Register for exams well ahead of board deadlines, as a private candidate if needed
- Include standardised assessment so grades are externally verifiable
- Keep a course description document alongside the transcript
Requirements vary by board, country, examination and institution and can change over time. Always verify current eligibility requirements with the relevant official authority.
