Fun-Schooling helps Middle Schoolers transition from their childhood years to teen years by providing a perfect balance of structure and flexibility. Students can cover all the required subjects- and electives- in a non-threatening way. Your Middle Schoolers will be able to work at their own pace, pursue their interests, and work on a lifelong love of learning.
Lots of the journals Middle Schoolers use are also popular High School options. So check out both of our High School journal suggestions here and here.
Our journals are super flexible in terms of age. You’ll see kids age 8 through 18 using the same journals. It’s all in the materials you use alongside them. Kids can repeat the same journal- especially core journals. Some kids have done the same core 4 or 5 times!
