Here’s a peek at all the materials my son will be using for his first year of high school!
We school in 3 terms, so not all of these are year-round.
Want the full subject-by-subject list + info on what’s not pictured?
Or our free reads schedule?
Reach out via DM on our Facebook page I’m happy to send it!
These are Daily/weekly books he uses 4–5 days a week or at his own pace:
Monday – These will be done 100% independently while I work. We will do an audiobook and nature drawing together-
Tuesday – Half the day is independent work, half with me.
Wednesday – Done with my husband while I work. Half independently, and half with my husband.
Free reads we’ll do together – Mostly audiobooks in the car. These tie into our studies, but he’s not required to narrate — just enjoy.
Independent free reads – Scheduled this year to help with balance. He mixes reading + audiobooks.
So what about the rest of the week?
Thursday – Screen-free + field trip day. We listen to free reads in the car. He does his daily stack before/after. Friday – He helps at a homeschool gym, then spends the afternoon with my in-laws. He finishes any leftover schoolwork there. Saturday – Catch-up day for free reads, papers, handicrafts, and special study (TBD). Sunday – Screen-free rest day. All schoolwork is due Saturday night.
A few books aren’t pictured!
Science this year is Biology, with a focus on comparing germ theory vs. terrain theory, natural immunity, and arguments from both sides.

Another alternative to Germ & Terrain: German New Medicine (learninggnm.com). Interesting stuff about how conflicts manifest physically and bacteria/viruses are actually our bodies’ way of healing. Did you know that lung cancer cells actually increase the lung’s capacity? And when the mind/body has healed from the “death-fright” crisis we encountered [lung conflicts involve death-frights], the specialized cells are easily removed by bacteria since they look different from regular cells. This theory is so Biblical in that God teaches us how to be healthy: forgive; don’t lie, cheat, steal, or worry; can you add one cubit to your height by worrying? If we do these things, we will be in excellent health physically and spiritually. Also gets rid of the idea that we are “at war” with germs; instead, bacteria are part of God’s plan for creation and for our health and wellbeing.
