Okeydoke, here’s the schedule my 15 year old son set up for himself for this year (I’ll put translations in parenthesis but can’t avoid using certain terms):
- 5:40 am – wake up
- 6:20 – amud shiur (Talmud lecture), followed by shacharis (morning prayers)
- 8:30 – breakfast with family
- 9:00 – chores
- 9:30 – math
- 10:25 – check something on computer
- 10:30 – mishnayos/chumash, alternating days, except Friday- parsha (portion of the week)
- 11:15 – break
Until this point, the schedule is the same Sunday through Friday. After this, Sunday is free time, and Friday is helping get ready for Shabbos (Sabbath).
- 11:30 – language arts (currently using Learning Language Arts Through Literature)
- 12:30 pm – science/history, alternating days
- 1:00 – nap
- 1:30 – lunch
- 2:00 – options
- 2:45 – learn mishnayos with 9 yo brother
- 3:00 – learn chumash (Bible) with 9 yo brother
- 3:20 – 4:15 – free
- 4:15 – walk to meet learning partner (unless I’m available to drive him, in which case he doesn’t have to leave until 4:40)
- 4:45 – gemara chavrusa -maseches kiddushin (one on one Talmud study))
- 5:45 – mincha (afternoon prayers), walk home (half hour walk)
- 6:30 -dinner
- 7:15 – family readaloud
- 8 pm – free, additional time reviewing learning
- 9:30 – bedtime
This schedule is going to change soon, since he’ll be starting to work a couple of times a week, probably. He doesn’t yet know what time slots are going to be available there, and hopes that he can start working right after his afternoon chavrusa (study partner) so that it will minimally affect his schedule.
