Our Favorite Home Schooling Grades 7-12 Websites
Whether you are new to home schooling or it's old hat, the "Tween" and Teen years can be challenging times for kids and parents alike. Curriculum gets tougher -- often leading parents to question their own abilities to handle the subject matter. And the relationship between parents and children undergoes a change as your kids begin to stretch themselves beyond the confines of your home and into the great looming world.
The Teenage Years and Beyond
There are links to 14 articles from back issues of Home Education Magazine on this one page, and if you're thinking of home schooling your older kid (or you already are), each and every article is a must read. Start with "The Challenge of Older Children" by Eileen Yoder.

Older Kids
Just take a look at the title of the very first article, "Challenging Teens," and you know you've come to the right place. There are a number of useful articles here on designing curriculum for teenagers and keeping the older child engaged. Cruise on down the page for articles on the scary next step (eek! college!) as well. Click on the link at the top of the page -- A to Z Home's Cool -- to visit the main webpage.

Learning Activities & Quizzes
From the periodic table to the New York Times daily news quiz and beyond -- this page is being continually updated with new quizzes and challenges. It's a terrific place to go if you're looking for ideas and inspiration. I like the geography quiz -- put together a Jigsaw Puzzle of Central Europe online. Try it!
