Secondary Home Education | 25-26 Course Options

Arise Home Education course options for secondary-aged home-educated students.

At Arise Home Education, we offer classes for students following the US Qualification (Transcript & Diploma) or the UK Exam Model. If you want to use UK exam-based courses to fulfill your US Qualifications (credits for your transcript) without sitting the UK exams, the following information will help you choose which classes, based on age/year in school, to help you make the best choices for your secondary-aged student.

Remember, ‘Secondary’ includes both middle school and high school in the USA. So, 7th-12th Grades (US), or roughly students aged 11/12 to 17/18.

S5 | UK Year 12 | US 11th Grade

Choose Core 4 classes – one for each subject area – Maths, English, and Social Studies.

In the last two years of secondary education, most teens are pretty focused on specific subjects. However, for the US Qualifications model, a broader range of learning is an option. Students can choose:

An additional science to do for 1-2 years,
An additional year of English Writing & Composition. We recommend Logic & Debate, Speech & Drama, or Biblical Studies. The latter is a great option for those wanting US credit for Biblical Literature and Ancient/Biblical History. Take both years of Biblical Studies for 1 full year credit in each subject area.

Recommended Maths, Language Arts & Social Studies Live Classes

Electives/Enrichment

Recommended Elective/Enrichment Live Courses

Choose two elective or enrichment courses. Try something new or continue with a next level course if you have completed the it or Year 1 levels.

Find Balance in Your Teen’s Academic Schedule with Self-Paced Courses

Not all classes need to be live classes to earn credit/prepare for qualifications. Check out our self-paced classes. They are a perfect option for scheduling conflicts or students who want to go at a slower (or faster) pace than a traditional online class.

Self-paced courses are priced differently. They are not included in the Bundle pricing. If you have questions, please email us atArise@ AriseHomeEducation.com

Are you looking for an alternative to the British Education System?

Maybe you’re…

Confused by the U.S. High School Diploma and Transcript Model?

You are unfamiliar with the U.S. Model for high school graduation
You have no idea what a credit or transcript is, much less how to create one.

Stressed Out by The British Exam-Based Model?

You aren’t sure how you will help your student achieve their career goals or provide proof of education.
Your child wants to apply for university but you aren’t sure how to accomplish it if they don’t want to or can’t sit British exams.

You’ve heard others talk about the US Qualifications Model, but you need to see if it will work with your family situation and home education goals.
