I am just wondering how many hours a day children should spend doing school for each grade? I read this somewhere and I am wondering if it is accurate. I am counting “school” as the basics, history, geography, and enrichment.

K- 30 min.
1-2nd 30-60 min
3-5 2-3 hours
6-8th 4-5 hours
highschool- 6-7 hours
6-7 hours seems like a lot of homeschool high school, but my kids are young so I don’t know. I want to use our time well and I want my kids to have time to explore their own interests, not just do “school”.

I probably did 5-6 hours personally on hs. I remember having math and most ELSI done by lunch and having a bit of “reading” to do later like literature or history. I was all done by like 2 if I remember correctly with no homework to do later. I had lots of time to explore other stuff…mock trial, youth group, drama, babysit
..sometimes I did school while my babysitting charges slept.
My oldest is 5 so I am not there with kids yet at all:)

Honestly, so far my hours have lined up exactly with yours. K was about 30, 1-2 was about 1 hour and 3 was around 1.5 and 4 we’re doing around 2.

My kids’ schedules line up with those times – probably on the lower end of those times, but still within the range.
Including our morning studies:
2nd grader – approximately 2 hours
3rd grader – approximately 2 hours
5th grader – approximately 2 1/2 hours
9th grader – approximately 6 hours

Our days run about 4/5 hours for the 13 yo and about 5/6 for the 16 yo but that’s a smooth sailing day with no rabbit holes, longer discussions, etc.
