Let Genie Academy Make Junior High Homeschooling Easier for You

Homeschooling a middle schooler comes with a whole new set of challenges, more complex subjects, growing independence, and keeping up with state standards. Some days, it can feel like a lot to manage. That’s where we come in.

At Genie Academy, we cover the core subjects: Math, ELA, and Writing, so your child builds strong academic skills in a way that makes sense to them. With structured lessons, engaging activities, and personalized support, we make sure they’re on track with NJ SLS standards. No more second-guessing, no more frustration, just expert guidance to make middle school homeschooling smoother for both of you.

Struggling with Middle School Homeschooling? We’ve Got You Covered!

 

Homeschooling a middle schooler comes with its challenges. The workload increases, subjects get harder, and keeping your child engaged isn’t always easy. If any of these struggles sound familiar, you’re not alone, and we’re here to help!


1. Too Much to Teach, Too Little Time
Math, writing, literature, science, it’s a lot to cover. And with multiple subjects to juggle, it can be hard to give each one the attention it deserves. Our structured curriculum covers core subjects like Math, ELA, and Writing, taking the stress off your plate.

2. Tougher Subjects, More Frustration
Middle school math and writing don’t just build on the basics; they introduce new, more complex concepts. If your child struggles with fractions, equations, essays, or grammar rules, they may feel stuck or unmotivated. Our step-by-step lessons, practice exercises, and engaging explanations help make learning easier.

3. Keeping Them on Track with State Standards
You want to be sure your child is meeting grade-level expectations, but navigating state requirements (like NJ SLS) can be confusing. How do you know they’re really on track? Our curriculum fully aligns with NJ SLS, ensuring your child stays on track (or even ahead!).

4. Lack of Confidence in Teaching Certain Subjects
Let’s be honest: not every parent feels comfortable teaching pre-algebra, literary analysis, or structured writing. Some subjects are just harder to explain, and without proper guidance, students can fall behind. Our expert coaches break down challenging topics into clear, easy-to-understand steps.

5. Battling Screen Distractions and Lack of Focus
Social media, video games, and endless distractions can make it challenging for kids to focus. That is why we make learning interactive and engaging with live instruction, hands-on activities, and structured lessons.

6. Are They Really Learning?
We track progress with regular assessments, quizzes, and expert feedback so you always know how your child is doing. You’ll get clear updates and recommendations to ensure steady academic growth.
