Questions families ask

Does this cover a full school year?

Each subject has 36 weeks of work. High school subjects run about 120 to 150 hours a year and middle school about 100 to 115. You decide on grades and credit as the parent.

Does it meet our homeschool requirements?

Homeschool rules differ by place. The records kit covers what is commonly asked for (attendance, hours, subjects, grades and samples of work), but check the rules where you live.

How much do I need to teach?

Students in grades 6 to 12 can do most of it on their own. Plan on a short weekly review together: look at the checked-off weeks, the quiz scores and the work saved for the portfolio.

Can we start mid-year or mix grades?

Yes. Start at any week, and with the All-in-One each student can use a different grade in each subject.

What about college applications?

The records kit builds the transcript and course descriptions. For a full review, see our homeschool transcript and counselor packet.

Caveat Homeschool is a self-paced curriculum and planning kit from Caveat Academic Services. The parent directs the homeschool, decides on grades and credit, and is responsible for following the homeschool rules where the family lives. Outside textbooks and books are free resources from their publishers; Caveat is not affiliated with them.

The Caveat Family Guide to College is general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Each college decides admission, aid and how credit counts, and requirements change; check each college's own pages. Examples are examples, not promises. Caveat Academic Services is an independent college preparation company. Students do all of their own work.
