High School Electives |
High School Electives should be driven by student choice and necessary skills for Employment. This page contains some books for rent, some books I sell, and some links to outside sources; some of these we have used personally and some we have not, they are here for your reference.

Foundations in Personal Finance
by Dave Ramsey
Please note that the homeschooling version has a Christian aspect to it. They also sell to Public Schools. I called and they are willing to sell their homeschooling bundle and substitute the workbook for the public school edition which does not contain the Christian aspect. You should not buy through their website you will need to call (888)227-3223 (ext. 2000 not sure if you need this exact extension) and request the Homeschool Foundations in Personal Finance Teacher/Student pack with the public school edition workbook substituted. We have not used this program yet but would like to. Some friends of ours took it in public school and said they learned a lot. I have used Dave's suggestions on his website & newsletters including his Gazelle zero budget. This would probably be a great class all students should take before leaving high school. I am not affiliated.
UPDATE: July 2015- I bought this for my son, no problem with getting the right textbook, I called and told them I wanted the homeschool bundle but wanted the textbook substituted with the public school edition- it came fine. So far we are enjoying the class. January 2016- CW completed the class and thoroughly enjoyed it- learned a lot.... best class for all high school students (parents too!).

Auto Upkeep Homeschool Curriculum
Have your teens been asking for a fun and practical homeschooling elective? The Auto Upkeep Homeschool Curriculum Kit has the resources you need to homeschool your high school student on basic car care, maintenance, repair, and ownership. Help them become confident auto owners! Students learn best by doing…and that’s why homeschool moms, dads, and children prefer home education. Hands-on learning keeps the attention of students, especially teenagers. Best of all, you don’t need to be an auto technician or have an auto shop to perform these homeschool activities. Your child will most likely own a car…give them the home learning experience so they can be empowered automotive owners. Auto UpKeep Website

Driver's Education
Do you need to take Driver's Education and want to get a discount with your insurance company. We found out that Allstate in Florida does not give a discount for taking FLVS Driver's Education. They do however give a discount if you take Teen Smart. Other insurance companies listed that give a discount with this class are: Mapfre, AAA NCNU, and Liberty Mutual. You can also call your agent and see if they accept this driver's education class and offer a discount on your rates. You will be leaving this website: Teen Smart Driving
