Homeschool Composition Curriculum for High School Students

An Essential Writing Curriculum for Every High School Student! 

 Your student will not need to fear the writing required for high school history, science, and literature after taking this course. By using Essay Styles for High School, you can provide him with the necessary writing skills to succeed in high school and continue onto college.  

 

Essay writing, required for every high school student, requires a clear understanding of the essay types, essay structure, the writing process and solid evaluation to be truly beneficial.

  

  

 

I do really like [Essay Styles]. It’s so well organized and easy to understand. I think it’s going to be an invaluable tool. Do I understand correctly that you're putting out another one on the research paper? I’d love to get that one too!

---Kari, mom of 3, SC

 


 

At Epi Kardia, we don’t view writing as a subject, but rather an essential life skill. Students who can express themselves well through writing tend to accomplish more in every subject area. Writing promotes more succinct communication, better organizational skills and higher level thinking. It develops confidence, creates an outlet for healthy expression and strengthens a student’s overall academic prowess.

With our  high school curriculum, Essay Styles for High School, your student will learn to write the five most common types of essays:

  • narrative
  • descriptive 
  • expository 
  • persuasive 
  • comparison/contrast 

This course is designed with step by step detailed instructions for both the student and teacher providing a clear picture of each essay style along with solid goals and objectives.

 

Even parents who do not view themselves as strong writers can teach this course because the evaluation section describes exactly what you need to look for in your student’s writing and explains how to determine a fair grade, as well.

"I'm still using Epi Kardia and LOVING it! I added one more student this year to the mix, A.! She and I do a more traditional Epi Kardia approach, whereas J. and G. know the drill and are on something like auto pilot with the program. Thank you for your dedication to writing such a fine curriculum.  My family have enjoyed it and been blessed by it time after time.  I still share it with everyone who will listen!"

--Jennifer

"E. is in 4th grade right now and C. is in 1st grade.  I love being able to use Epi Kardia with both of them!  (And we'll be adding L. in kindergarten next year.)  What a blessing this curriculum has been and continues to be for us!  Thanks Dana and Beth!"

--Julie

"I have 4 children and we are using all 4 levels of the program. Just another reason why I love this program! It is flexible enought for me to do just what want with it! :-) "

 --Pam

"The kids and I just finished playing a '20th Century Trivia' board game that A. made after I saw it in the [Preparatory Complete Program] Epi Kardia curriculum. What a great idea! He had to come up with the idea, use history & geography to come up with the categories and then the questions, make the board, paint the board and then make up the rules. It was a great 2-week project!" 

--Vicki

I am very excited about where the Lord will take us this year in our homeschooling! I am telling everyone I know about your amazing customer service.

Thanks,

"I am using the American Literature [high school] curriculum for a co-op starting in August and am very pleased with it so far.  I have laid out weekly lesson plans for the group so that they are reading along at the same pace and know which assignments will be due when.  It is so clearly laid out and easy to use.  I love the notes on grading/assessing the assignments and the rubrics you have provided.  I want to order a few more things real soon, so really appreciate the coupon!!
Thanks!"

--Erica

"I am grateful and appreciative. [You have provided] customer service of the highest degree - thanks so much, and thanks for the updates on future products. You are most kind."
