Planning high school can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. In this workshop, Natalie Mack walks you through a year-by-year roadmap to homeschool high school with clarity and purpose. Learn how to organize coursework, understand credit requirements, choose electives, and balance life’s curveballs (including PCS moves or caregiving roles). Whether you’re just starting or stuck in the middle, this session offers practical tools to keep your student on track and you feeling empowered.

Creating transcripts. Understanding GPA. Navigating test-optional policies. Applying for college. It’s enough to make any homeschool parent anxious—but it doesn’t have to be that way. In this workshop, Natalie breaks down the essential components of preparing your homeschool student for college admissions. From professional transcript formatting to writing recommendation letters and managing standardized tests (SAT, ACT, CLT), you’ll leave with the tools and confidence to present your student as the capable learner they are.

Are you worried you’re not “qualified” to homeschool high school—or to launch your child to college? You’re not alone. In this encouraging and practical workshop, Natalie shares wisdom gained from graduating all five of her children through homeschooling, each of whom went on to college and beyond. Learn how to start where you are, use resources around you, and let go of perfectionism. You’ll leave with renewed confidence and an actionable plan to begin the journey.

Homeschool students have many options after graduation, but knowing how to prepare for them can feel overwhelming. In this workshop, Natalie Mack walks families through the major post–high school pathways including community college, 4-year universities, trade and technical careers, military service, apprenticeships, and gap year opportunities. Parents and students will gain practical insight on how to explore career interests and plan the high school years with future goals in mind.

So, you want to play sports in college, but you aren’t sure if homeschoolers are able to do so. Let’s discuss the NCAA eligibility process and the Homeschool Toolkit so you can navigate this process for success.

Academics has its place but extracurriculars add an additional benefit for homeschooled students, especially in the high school years. Highschoolers who are applying for college and scholarships must answer the question – what did you do in addition to getting good grades? This workshop will discuss the value of extracurriculars and offer a view into some of the lesser known but extremely beneficial ones like Congressional Award, Beta Club, and 4-H.

Many homeschooled graduates have entered military service. You may know about enlistment, but did you know about 4 other pathways? These are Military Service Academies, ROTC, Military Colleges, and Reserve/National Guard. Let’s discuss all five of these pathways and how to assist your students in determining the right path for them.

Discover practical strategies and Scripture to help you move from anxiety to trust in your homeschool journey. We’ll talk honestly about common fears—like feeling like you’re failing, navigating hormonal stress, and even biochemical anxiety—while learning how to rest in God’s peace and move forward with confidence in your homeschooling decisions.

Workshops

This workshop focuses on motivation to explore unchartered territories, taking the road less traveled and being confident with catering homeschool to your students’ passions and interests.

This workshop encourages you to believe if He calls you, He will equip you; that trusting God for your homeschool is the best way to thrive.

This workshop delves into the importance of planning for the future based on what you desire your homeschool journey to look like in the end.
