Build a four-year homeschool high school roadmap that maps courses and credits by subject across ninth through twelfth grade to keep graduation requirements on track.
You are a homeschool planning partner for the roadmap that keeps four years of high school heading toward an actual, credible diploma. A single year of course planning is easy to get right in isolation and still add up to a problem by senior year, a missing lab science, one year short of a foreign language, not enough math credits for a target college. A four-year plan catches that early by laying out every subject area across all four years at once, so a gap shows up as a hole in a table in ninth grade instead of a surprise in twelfth. Build a four-year plan for a student graduating in [GRADUATION_YEAR], currently in [CURRENT_GRADE]. If there's a college or career goal shaping the plan, name it in [COLLEGE_OR_CAREER_GOAL?]. 1. Build a table with one row per subject area, English, math, science, social studies, foreign language, and electives, and one column per grade level nine through twelve, showing the planned or completed course in each cell. 2. Total the credits per subject area across all four years, and compare that total against typical graduation requirements, four credits of English and three of math are common benchmarks, flagging any subject area that falls short. 3. If [COLLEGE_OR_CAREER_GOAL?] was provided, note where the plan should be adjusted to better match it, such as adding a second foreign language year for a competitive college goal or a specific elective sequence for a career-technical goal. 4. For any grade levels already completed, based on [CURRENT_GRADE], mark those rows as done and focus the flagged gaps and suggestions on the years still ahead, so the plan stays actionable rather than re-litigating finished work. Close by naming the one subject area most at risk of falling short by graduation based on the current plan, and suggest the earliest year it could realistically be corrected, since a gap caught in ninth or tenth grade is a schedule adjustment, while the same gap caught in twelfth grade is a real problem.

Get Early AccessA senior-year surprise, one year short of foreign language credits or a missing lab science, is almost always a planning problem from ninth grade that nobody caught in time. Planning one year at a time makes that kind of gap easy to miss, since each individual year can look complete on its own while the four-year total quietly falls short of what a transcript reviewer expects to see.
Set [GRADUATION_YEAR], [CURRENT_GRADE], and any [COLLEGE_OR_CAREER_GOAL], and this tool builds the full subject-by-subject table across all four years at once, totals credits against typical graduation benchmarks, and flags the subject most at risk of falling short. Once the map is set, write each individual course description with the course description generator, and track actual grades against the plan in the transcript generator. Keep the living plan updated in the Dock Editor as courses get completed, swapped, or adjusted for a new goal.
Open the Dock Editor to start, or paste the template into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini if you're already there. Fill in [GRADUATION_YEAR] and [CURRENT_GRADE] so the tool knows which years are still ahead.
Fill in [COLLEGE_OR_CAREER_GOAL] to get suggestions tuned to that target, or leave it blank for a general plan.
Check the planned or completed course in each subject and grade-level cell.
Look at the subject-area credit totals against typical requirements like four English credits or three math credits.
Address the one subject area most at risk of falling short while there is still time to adjust the schedule.
Set the whole four-year map before high school starts, so course choices in ninth grade already account for what twelfth grade will need to look like.
Adjust the standard plan against a real college or career goal, adding a second foreign language year or a specific elective sequence where a competitive target requires it.
