Non-traditional HS options for ADHD 8th grader

[Hometeacher628]

Lastly, if homeschooling is determined to be the best path, there are a few parochial catholic curriculums

If Anna is enjoys reading and her parents want to persue a Catholic non Core Curriculum utilizing the Great Books of the Western World, Seton has a Homeschool Curriculum that also works through ACE.

I have found that ADD/ADHD kids approach things differently. I have always kept my expectations up, and they have found their own resolutions to the problems to get the results. Neither of my girls think like me or resolve a situation as I would. Sometimes it can be quite frustrating for me. I have learned to provide structure ( more than I ever would have needed when I was growing up) then get out of the way. In so many instances they do things faster and more efficiently than I ever could. They also can keep more irons in the fire and it get overwhelmed. I did a lot of reading on "twice blessed" or gifted kids with ADD for me to wrap my head around things. As they get older and choose life's course for themselves, you will be amazed how much time they are able to "sit and concentrate" on something that actually interests them. In elementary homeschool, I could have just pulled my hair out with frustration. Eventually, I guided my oldest into a path she now so intensely has grasped onto, and she is going farther - faster than I could have even imagined. I had to learn to look at learning differently.
