Middle School Homeschool Curriculum

Middle school is an important and exciting time in your child’s life, but it comes with new challenges. Your tween is maturing, which is great for taking on more responsibilities, but it also comes with mood swings, sarcasm, peer influence, and more as your child experiences new difficulties and pressures. 

You may find the best online homeschool program for your middle schooler, then their interests seem to change overnight. Your child may feel jaded about learning in general, compounded by the lack of confidence and insecurity children often feel at this age. It’s essential to find a homeschool curriculum that supports and engages your middle schooler while pushing them ahead in their learning journey.

Built for every learner, our middle school homeschool curriculum is packed with everything your child needs to succeed.

Boosting Confidence in Learning

New academic and peer pressures with the added stress of growing up can be exhausting, and you may be wondering how to help. Boosting your child’s confidence is key in getting them excited about learning and preparing them for high school.

Giving your child ownership over their learning can be a source of independence and motivation! Some control at this stage in their learning allows them to make mistakes, explore, and work at their own pace.

Try allowing your student to:

• Choose what they want to learn
• Retake or redo assignments to learn from immediate feedback
• Take a mastery-based approach to learning

All of these can increase your child’s confidence in both learning and themselves. In doing this, students can see value in growth and their own ability to make progress, as well as prepare them for new challenges they’ll face in high school.

Accredited Middle School Program

Our accredited middle school program allows students to develop responsibility and time management. Working at their own level and pace allows them to catch up on skills they need for high school or to solidify what they already know. As middle schoolers build this solid base of knowledge, responsibility, and time management, they can focus more on successes than failures and become well-rounded students. 

We focus on the core preparatory subjects for high school while also providing middle schoolers with opportunities beyond the basics, like creating their own virtual business and design studio. With Miacademy, middle schoolers also get the social opportunities they need in a safe, moderated online community. Your child can develop valuable social skills and navigate friendships in a supportive, welcoming online space.

When you use our accredited middle school curriculum, your student can:

• Develop their eye for form with our middle school art curriculum, like “How to Draw and Shade a Cube”
• Be immersed in world cultures with beginning foreign language learning in French, ASL, and a more in-depth introductory Spanish course 
• Boost your language arts and vocabulary skills with classical languages like Latin and Attic Greek
• Explore our Life Skills curriculum for middle school, including typing, computer skills, and detailed career exploration lessons
• Learn how to code with simple functions and algorithms in our coding curriculum for middle school and high school students
