Welcome to AmblesideOnline.org'sHouse of Education Online. These years differ from other years in that they have more book options to choose from, increasingly so as the years advance. We recommend that parents and children work together to formulate a custom-fit plan to cover years 7-12 (especially 9-12). See each Year's Booklist for many different options. This schedule reflects one way to work out a plan for Year 12.
