As many of you know, we are busy creating and piloting many new courses for our preschool through grade 8 curriculum. But what about homeschool high school courses?
We’ve created this blog post to keep you updated on the status of high school curriculum from The Good and the Beautiful. Updates will be posted here whenever there is new information available.

What are the current plans for high school?
We hear your desire to continue with a good and beautiful education all the way through high school—we have high school students, too!
We appreciate your patience as we develop a solid, foundational curriculum for preschool through grade 8 before increasing our attention to developing complete, academically sound high school courses.
Language Arts
Our three full-year high school levels incorporate everything needed to meet high school requirements. By design, there is no High School 4 Language Arts course, as all necessary concepts are taught in the three language arts courses we offer.
Options for High School Year Four:
- Some 9th graders complete our Level 7 or Level 8 options because the courses are advanced, leaving High School Language Arts 1, 2, and 3 for 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. Note: Some states may not accept a Level 7 or 8 course for high school credit. Consult your local homeschool resources.
- Many students who complete all three homeschool high school levels before their senior year choose to take editing, creative writing, or college-level courses. These courses are not currently available from The Good and the Beautiful.
- Students often complete High School Honors Book Studies for in-depth literature study.

More High School Courses
In addition to our rigorous high school language arts courses, we will be creating an entire high school program with all core subjects and several elective classes to prepare students to face adulthood and parenthood with faith, character, knowledge, and powerful skills.
You might be surprised to learn that less than 3% of our customers homeschool a high schooler. High school curriculum is much more expensive to create than K–8 curriculum, and it takes a lot more time and energy. Creating high school curriculum would not be the route to go if we were seeking products with the highest profits.
But our team at The Good and the Beautiful feels strongly that the high school curriculum we are creating is needed. It will enable parents to homeschool high schoolers and enable students to continue benefiting from good and beautiful educational materials.
So when is it coming?
Everything we do at The Good and the Beautiful is thoughtfully planned and of the highest quality. Thus, our high school program will not be released until at least 2027. It will be worth the wait! In the meantime, our high school language arts courses are available.
For those of you waiting for news on our higher level math courses: Math 7 will be released in early 2024, and we have just started on Math 8, which is pre-algebra. It will be released in early 2025.
Homeschool Accreditation
We have been researching and exploring accreditation, and we are leaning toward non-accredited courses for our homeschool high school curriculum. This is subject to change, of course, but we will likely always have non-accredited options available if we later also pursue accredited classes. We will update information here as plans solidify.
