Science Cycle-I might actually combine zoology 2 and 3 so that we can do a year of geology. Or condense one of those years into a single semester and do a semester of geology. Three years zoology just seems like an awful lot. I am debating if I want to use the upper Apologia books because I do not care for Jay Wile, but that remains to be seen later.

My DH will take care of computer science, though I will also encourage them to take it as a dual enrollment class their senior year since most degrees require a college level computer science course.
Of course all this is subject to change as needed. I will also allow them to chase some self-led interests, but over all this is what I believe they need to have a well rounded school experience with a Biblical world view. Let me know if you see something missing!

You rock, Anna :) Looks GREAT.
Great job planning!
Just an FYI: Apologia calls their high school Anatomy and Physiology course an AP Biology II. I don't see you listing using a Biology I first, so that might be something you want to consider.
Overall it looks like you've planned pretty thoroughly. Just remember to stay flexible because you never know what may change in the meantime. :)
Yes, this is a great idea. I've already planned out my grandson's entire curriculum through grade 12. He's currently in pre-school! lol! I discovered that, not counting for inflation, I'll be spending approximately $6,000 for 13 years of school - grade k thru 12. That averages out to be about $460 per year. That's loads cheaper than the public schools spend, which can be $10,000 or more per student PER YEAR!
We have actually changed a few things around. After thinking I did decide I want to do the Apologia science in order so it will be Astronomy, Botany, Zoology 1-3 and A&P.
I also need to add health to our home economics list and find a good curriculum for it. We might lapbook it.
