It’s June 9, and on this day in 1973, Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes by a whopping 31 lengths, a record that still stands to this day. Already a winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, Secretariat’s win in the Belmont ensured him of horse racing immortality as a Triple Crown winner. Horse racing fans will tell you that pacing in a race is very important. Often a horse will pace itself early in the race to have more energy to run faster at the end in a sprint to the finish line. While that strategy often works in horse racing, any number of pacing strategies work best for students who homeschool with American School. That’s because we allow students to work at the pace that is best for them. Students can move quickly through their accredited middle school courses or accredited high school courses, or they can take more time to master more difficult concepts and subjects. To help students along, our online middle school courses and online high school courses coming with pacing guides. Step into the starting gate and enroll with American School today. We look forward to crowning you with an accredited high school diploma when you finish your academic race with us.
