As you look to begin your high school journey with your student, you might be feeling overwhelmed about where to start with their 9th grade subjects: What classes should you focus on?

Starting in 9th Grade, your student is concerned about more than just next year. They are thinking about what comes after they complete high school. College? Trade school? Missions? Sonlight has designed your high school courses to be flexible for a range of grade levels, to ensure your student covers all of the subjects they need to find success in whatever they pursue next.
As you and your student map out the future, if college is on the horizon, examine your history options and choose a program that will fulfill your college's requirements. If your student is taking a different direction with their future, feel free to select the program that would best pique their interest. Any one of these programs will provide an excellent year of study.
For high school credit consider:
If you need more options, Sonlighters have also successfully used Eastern Hemisphere, History of Science, World History, part 1 (level G), World History, part 2 (level H), or World History for new Sonlighters (level W) for their 9th grade year.

At the high school levels, we have designed the lesson plans, our Instructor's Guides, to move you into more of a supportive role. The notes in the Instructor's Guides (IGs) are written to the students, and each high school program includes both a Parent Guide and a Student Guide.
The Student Guide contains discussion and thought questions. Some questions cover basic comprehension, and some are closer to college-level analysis. The Parent Guide contains all the same information, along with answers.
So, while you still receive the book-by-book, and subject-by-subject schedule and notes, the tool matches your family's needs for high school season.
Your student will be able to work independently for much of the time and you are able to choose when and how you would like to work with them.
IGs are included with your History / Bible and Literature / Language Arts or All-Subjects Packages. Use them for record keeping, a daily schedule, notes, or any combination of the three. At the high school level, your Apologia Science program comes with a Student Notebook which provides a daily schedule and introduces your student to notetaking and recording their scientific findings.
In the high school levels, History and Bible combined into a course as are Literature and Language Arts.
As your students read the literature, they will spend some time on comprehension questions and continue to look in-depth at literary analysis and deeper thought questions: What does this text reference? What do you think of this character's actions?
Your student will continue to learn terms like allusion and climax, think through ethical questions, and build their cultural literacy. Their writing assignments mostly come from their reading.
You can also choose from several optional workbooks, with assignments scheduled in the IG. Wordly Wise improves vocabulary and Analogies helps your student learn to reason. Analogies are part of college admission standardized testing, as well as helpful in overall communication. If you suspect your student needs more instruction in grammar, add on a grammar program here.

Taught from a Christian viewpoint with emphasis on the incredible design features apparent throughout God's creation.
