Homeschool Montana

Resource for Homeschool High School Families

Homeschool Montana enjoys sharing resources that may be helpful to homeschooling families. While this is not a Homeschool Montana program or endorsement, it is an opportunity that may be a good fit for students looking for live, interactive high school math instruction.

Online High School Classes, taught by homeschool educator Kimberly Muhtar, offer small, live online classes with direct instruction, grading, and personalized support. Classes are not self-paced or pre-recorded, and parents don't need to prepare or teach the material.

Current course offerings include:
• Consumer Math – Math for Work and Everyday Life, covering practical topics like budgeting, banking, taxes, credit, car buying, and more.
• Algebra 1, providing a strong foundation in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, probability, and other concepts to prepare students for higher-level math.

Textbooks and shipping are included in the course tuition, and class sizes are intentionally kept small so students have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and receive individualized instruction.

Families interested in learning more can visit www.onlinehighschoolclasses.com to explore courses, schedules, and student testimonials.

We must remain vigilant and aware of how public funding for homeschooling threatens to erode our freedom to educate our children at home.

A BACK TO SCHOOL PRAYER by Karen DeBeus

May I teach them what You want them to know
and in turn, You will teach me what You want me to know.

Lord, let me remember my job is to point them to You, and not to this world.
Help me to guide them on the path that leads to You.

Give me the strength when I feel I have none..
when I don’t feel like it… let me do it anyway.When I am tired…give me your divine energy to press on.

When I want to put myself first…let me remember Your words that I may be humble.
Let me do this for Your glory, and not mine.

Lord, show me each day the path we should take.
When I get off course, thank You for Your mercy in bringing me back.

Let me remember these children are Yours, and You love them even more than I do.
Let me be thankful for the gift of spending each day with them.

Let me remember it will go by in the blink of an eye.
The complaining isn’t forever, the noise isn’t forever, the mess isn’t forever…
…but You are.

And that is my goal. That we may spend eternity in Your presence.
Let this homeschool glorify You, show You to those around us, and please You.

Let me not get caught up in doing things the world’s way…but Your way.
Let me not be distracted by the noise of this world, from the true goals You have set.

Let me remember that the books are important, but Your Word is most important.

May I see my children as the blessing they are that You created. Each unique and special with a purpose to fulfill.

May I remember how blessed I am to be a homeschool mom.

In your name I pray.

Before the new homeschool year begins, take time to test drive your curriculum.

Many homeschool programs offer free samples or trial periods, making summer the perfect time to see if a curriculum is truly a good fit. Work through a few lessons, let your children explore the materials, and ask for their honest feedback.

But remember—your opinion matters too.

You're the one planning, teaching, and managing the day-to-day. Choosing a curriculum that works well for you will help create a more enjoyable homeschool experience for your whole family.

A little time spent testing curriculum now can save a lot of frustration once the school year begins.
