It’s hard to believe that I’ve officially graduated my first homeschool high school student, only to be on the brink of starting the process all over again with my rising 9th grader.

Homeschooling parents wear many hats. While our primary role is that of teacher and facilitator, we may also play roles such as cafeteria lady, school janitor, or bus driver. One position we may not consider is that of their homeschool guidance counselor.

It is particularly important that we understand how to fill the role of homeschool guidance counselor once our teens reach high school.

Understanding Your Role as
Homeschool Guidance Counselor

A high school guidance counselor has many jobs, but the four primary responsibilities are guiding and helping students:

• choose their high school courses and electives
• develop strong study and time management skills
• plan for college or a career after graduation
• prepare for a smooth transition into college or the workforce

As a homeschooling parent, you’ll perform many of the duties of a guidance counselor naturally and without much extra planning or research.
