Homeschooling in the preschool, elementary and middle school years is daunting enough to some parents. However, homeschooling high school aged children can seem even more daunting. Homeschool statistics show that approximately 2 million children were being homeschooled in the U.S. as of 2005-2006, according to the National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI). Not all of them can be eighth grade and under. So why are parents choosing to homeschool their high school kids?

The reasons for homeschooling through high school will vary from family to family, but the point of this article is to give you some proven statistics, as well as personal decisions from other families for choosing to homeschool their high schoolers to help you see the benefits in doing so.

According to NHERI, homeschooled children are actively being sought after by colleges. One does not have to desire to attend college to appreciate the fact that their recruiting homeshoolers is a good thing.

NHERI also states that adults who were homeschooled participate in local community service, vote and attend public meetings, go to college and succeed at college at an equal or higher rate than the general population.
