Have any of you begun your high school program after the beginning of the school year?

I'm remember that W2W began her high school instruction with her daughter mid-year (I think). When you do this, do you simply plan to go longer than 4 years? Or do you plan to double-up? Or do you simply count what you are currently doing as high school, even before you officially begin high school?

My oldest still has 5 weeks of work left in his CTC guide before he begins doing what we "planned" for high school the second week of August, which is RTR.

I'm pondering if he should simply put the CTC aside? Or do a quick read through of what's left and not notebook? Or continue the work in CTC and begin RTR later than we planned? Or?

Any thoughts?

We started our year late (Oct 15th this year) but we did not actually start the program mid year. I did add some to RTR later, like a month into it because I just saw she could handle it and I thought it would be neat to do some church history with it. People have used a beefed up CTC for high school. I am trying to get a picture for what you are doing. But what comes to mind is you do have a y day schedule that can be run as a five day week to make up some time and if you did that for a season perhaps you could catch up. But if you could lay out what your plan is looking like maybe we could help you come up with something that might work without a push. I think I would look for a solution that does not have you putting CTC aside. It is really such a wonderful program and I think you would want to catch it all. My dd did 5 day weeks for quite a bit this year and it worked out great for us. We started out 4 day and then when she got that she wanted to move to five day a week. She actually finished before the rest of us did this year.

Anyway let us know where exactly you are at and maybe we can help you brain storm.
