High school Home Schooling
Keep Learning Real:
Build a Profitable Web Business!

There is more to high school home schooling than building a web site, but it is not a bad focus to have, an opportunity in which the students can present their learning in a great culmination project! It doesn't mean you stop all your subjects, but as their interests naturally develop and are stream-lined, their learning can have a purposeful goal. In fact, the subjects are the content and the food for thought. As our children are exposed to the world in which we live, to history, to literature, science and so on, their interests will be aroused, and their special, God given talents and interests will become evident.

Moving from a knowledge base to understanding, and then organizing the information and expressing it, requires a development of all the skills they have been learning through their homeschooling. Their skills, plus their own motivation will prove to be the best website builder they need.

Major Work / The Fruit of their Labours

A Culmination Project / Major Work / The Fruit of Their Labours (16-18+) can take many forms and a great deal of time, but it is a worthwhile expression of the homeschooler's real life learning. The advantage of working towards presenting a Major Work is that it keeps learning real, and study can be more purposeful. For some high school home schooling students, it can in the form of a book; a business; an art work; a musical work - recorded music on CD; Video presentation; Textile work: quilt, design outfit; Invention; Written Thesis; or a Web Site!

A web site is a written document; Written to a specific audience for a specific reason.

Sometimes it is to inform - here one can write about what they have learned or are learning and researching.
It can be a website to support a family business;
It can be a website to sell e-goods;
It can be a family/hobby website;
It can be a travel log website - with business opportunities;

Why build a web site?

Is building a web site an essential computer skill we need to pass on to our children?

Well, I suppose I am coming from a biased point of view. I love writing this website and I have seen huge possibilities for my children to build a website of their own and for anyone to build their own website.

We don't need to know the ins and outs of building a web site in order to use the internet effectively. However, understanding how a website or web business works and getting involved in writing a website gives us an overview, an understanding and experience in the world of business without leaving our homes. Did you know that a Harris Poll showed that 72% of households are thinking about starting a work-from-home business? Perhaps this is an avenue for your family or your children?
