What others are saying about
Home School, High School & Beyond
"Adams-Gordon's fifth
publication Home School, High School, and Beyond
recently hit the market. The book is a guide to help Christian
home schooled teenagers organize their education and career
planning. She started out by developing techniques to help her
own children get organized. By the time they were in college, she
had enough knowledge to fill a book, so she did."
Kim Todd, The
Highline News, Burien, WA
"I also
liked seeing someone design a course for the student to take
responsibility for their education. It gives them ownership of
their education. This is what it will take for young people to be
prepared for college and the workplace. They will need to be
independent and be able to take
initiative." Jewel
Smith, Herald Five, SC Home Education
Assoc.
"Everything that I could possibly think
that I might need to know for High School and College is in
this
book." Jacqueline
Clark, CHEN
Newsletter, Maryland
"Very
well
thought through. Lots of great ideas. It will give them a
systematic
and thorough means of preparing and check-listing their high
school
years.'' Claudia Joye,

County Homescholer, Exton, PA
"Beverly
puts it all together in a student directed time management
program
that begins with goal setting, defines terms such as credit,
grade,
syllabus, etc. and then helps them choose their necessary
courses
geared to their future plans. She shows how courses can be
formatted
with the traditional, modified, unit study, or an independent
approach." Vicky
Goodchild,
HIS Publishing, Ft. Lauderdale, FL
"There
is an enthusiasm for learning that comes through the pages -
which, after all, is why many people are home schooling their
children! We want them to keep looking and learning beyond those
years we have charge over them."
Linda and Crystal
Barlean, WHA's Happening , Whatcom Home
School Assoc., Washington
"The
information is user friendly, easily understood. The exercises
are real and applicable now." Elizabeth
L. Walker, CHEV Notes, Burlington,
VT
"I
thought that the organization was excellent. It encouraged
logical, goal-oriented thought by example as well as by
words." Amanda
Hyldall, The Home Schooler Newsletter,
Meadville,
PA
"Any
student who completed this course and stuck with the system for
the
high school years would be amply prepared for adulthood (and
far
more organized than most of us, I'll
bet.)''
Paige Smith, Live & Learn
Newsletter,
Humboldt, CA. 
"Unless
your high schooler is enrolled in a planned curriculum or one
of you
is an extremely organized person, you and he may have figured
out some of the things in this course on your own, but especially
if you are working with your first high schooler the chances are
that you and he are not entirely certain that you are doing all
you should in the area of keeping records, etc. Home School,
High School and Beyond can help you do this. It will also
help your child learn
how to take on some of the responsibilities of goal-setting
keeping
records, planning and decision-making about high school that is
starting to overwhelm you as you also try to choose curriculum
for
your other children and plan dinner and go on field trips and
do the
laundry and...'' Karen
