11th Grade Homeschool Curriculum
Here are my TOP 11th Grade Home School Curriculum picks. Homeschooling 11th-grade students, your high school juniors, and preparing your homeschooled child for the remainder of high school while developing the skills needed for college as well as getting a head start on high school credits doesn’t have to be hard.

After completing the junior year in high school as a homeschool student, my daughter will have completed the required 40 credits in order to graduate in the state of Illinois. In fact, she will have 50 total credit hours. She hasn’t decided on the final plan of action yet for her senior year, but it will most likely be Dual-Enrollment at a local community college.
Dual enrollment is a program that allows high school students to enroll in college courses for credit prior to high school graduation. The great aspect of dual enrollment is the huge cost savings as tuition is reduced for dual enrollment students. The credits earned will apply both to high school diploma requirements and college graduation requisites.
My daughter will have then completed high school and all the prerequisites to enter community college, college or university. Currently, she is looking at a Computer Science degree.
I have created some Homeschool Planning documents to download that will aid in planning for your own student’s journey in high school. These Homeschool Planning for High School documents can be found on my Curriculum Store page for FREE download.
Keep in mind also, the course weight, and the grade multiplier for weighted GPAs (weighted GPAs are on transcripts only).
Weight: Weight is used to determine a student’s grade point average (GPA). Courses that are at the standard weight of 1.0; courses that do not meet daily may have a weight of 0.75, 0.25, or 0.125.
Grade Multiplier: The grade multiplier is used to generate a “weighted GPA”; it is the number used to multiply each semester grade. The purpose of the grade multiplier is to give students a numerical advantage for grades earned in higher-level courses or more challenging learning experiences. The grade multiplier is only used to determine the weighted GPA found on a student’s transcript.
The following multiplier is used:
Honors courses: 1.025
Accelerated courses: 1.05
AP courses: 1.10
