Planet Homeschool Course Proposal Form for the 2021-2022 Academic Year
Proposals can be made by current students and their parents or guardians, current instructors, and prospective instructors. They can also be made by prospective students and their parents or guardians.

Prospective instructors are encouraged to read about our co-op on our website at planethomeschool.org before submitting a course proposal. Information for Prospective Instructors can be found under Instructor Resources in the sidebar menu.

Courses are selected by current co-op members via run-off or ranked-choice voting. The Lead Volunteers then work together to use the winning suggestions to create a class schedule with a balance of age ranges and subjects taking into account teacher availability and available classroom space. A tentative schedule of courses is available around the time of our co-op’s spring Open House Party at the end of April.

Planet Homeschool is a secular homeschool co-op for middle and high school students ages 10–19 years. We welcome students from diverse backgrounds and our families have a variety of educational philosophies and styles.

Course description
If this is a suggestion from a student or parent/guardian, tell us more about what you want this course to be. While we recognize that course concepts may be in the early planning stages and so you may not have all the details, the more complete you are in your proposal, the more likely you’ve provided enough of a teaser for your course to be selected by our students. Visit our current Class Registration page on our website at planethomeschool.org for examples.
Age range
Planet Homeschool offers secular courses for middle school and high school students, ages 10 to 19 years.

Courses may be for ages 10–19 or restricted to a smaller age range (most commonly to either middle school or high school students).

MIDDLE-SCHOOL courses are typically for ages 10–14 or 5th–8th grades.

HIGH-SCHOOL courses are typically for ages 14–19 or 9th–12th grades.

It is not uncommon to restrict courses to ages 12–19 or 7th–12th grades (or what was once known as Junior High and Senior High)

Instructors should be prepared to teach the full age range for whom their course is advertised so that all enrolled students have a meaningful educational experience.

Homeschool-Life will automatically restrict registration to the age range selected. While instructors can grant individual exceptions to Planet Homeschool members, they cannot allow students younger than 10 to register as co-op membership is not open to students ages 9 and younger. When granting exceptions to younger students, instructors should take into account the social and interpersonal skills needed to succeed in a group learning environment and any possible impact on students in the advertised age range.
What ages would this course be geared toward?
You can save clicks by checking only the youngest and oldest age — and we'll extrapolate from that data that you wish to include all the ages in between.
