What a perfect bookend! - or beginning to homeschool through high school…
I met Charlene when Boy was entering 8th grade. One of the local groups (an hour plus away from us) was having a used book sale with a small one day conference. (At this point I had never been to a conference because the only one I was familiar with was the ultra Christian one in Indy). Two friends and I went.
What ended up being a high point of the day was the talk about homeschooling through high school and into college. Charlene gave the talk. Up to that point I was going into panic mode trying to figure out how to ‘do’ high school and what would be required when applying to college. I don’t think it answered every question and concern that I had, but it started me down the road that this week ended.
Charlene founded and directs the Indiana Foundation for Home Schooling. Their main cause is helping homeschool families get a handle on high school. A few years ago they started their own one day conference that only deals with high school. And today Charlene posted the information for this year’s conference.
So I’m passing it along with my recommendation.

Hello!
Please mark your calendar and share with your support group and
friends - Map Your Future, a high school, college, and career
planning event for 7th-12th graders and their parents will be on
Friday, October 10th.
In past years this event has been the 3rd Friday of September. So,
please note it has moved to Friday, October 10th. The location will
remain as the past 2 years — we are blessed to be back at Chapel
Rock Christian Church on Indy’s westside.
The high school coordinators from HSLDA will be returning again this
year with some new classes and repeats from last year — as there is
just so much to cover in a day devoted to high school, college, and
career planning! There will be lots of additional sessions by other
speakers too — including plenty for your teens. We are working on
constantly improving the options for teen classes.
If you have suggestions while we are designing the additional
classes, we would love to hear from you! Email us:
Info@IndianaHomeSchooling.org
Details will be available probably in mid-July on the Indiana
Foundation for Home Schooling (IFHS) website.
Thanks!
Charlene Brown
Indiana Foundation for Home Schooling
