ELECTIVES

Our office often receives questions concerning elective options for high school. Electives are a great way for a student to try a field of study that they may have a concentrated interest. Following is a suggested list of elective options. By no means is the list exclusive, the possibilities are endless. These are just options that varying members of our association have used. It is the parent's responsibility to research, purchase and implement curriculum to fulfill the elective. Upcountry Homeschool Association does not endorse any specific curriculum or retailer, these listings are for informational purposes only.
