The Three Q's About College

The typical list for getting young people prepared for college these days includes: get good grades, study like crazy, score well on the SAT, and then start applying. But, does this list serve your child's best interests and really help him/her prepare for and be accepted by the best colleges? We consulted with Jonathan Reider, former Senior Associate Director of Admissions for Stanford University, and asked him which type of education he thought would best prepare a child for higher education?  His answers may surprise you.


Florida Christian College Recruiting Homeschoolers

Warner Southern College in Florida is actively recruiting homeschoolers.  Most homeschooled students begin researching and planning for college early. Each student has his or her own interests and educational goals. Warner Southern College is a private Christian liberal arts college in Central Florida where homeschooled students are welcomed and wanted. From the very beginning, they help make your application and entrance process go smoothly. Academic advisors offer guidance in career considerations, academic programs and personal development.

College Admissions for Homeschoolers

The college admissions process is a stressful one but the good news for homeschooling students (and their parents) is that the procedure has recently become easier and simpler.

Historically, homeschoolers have struggled in the battle to get an equal footing in the admissions process. Changes to the Higher Education Act in 1998 made it easier for homeschoolers to enter college, yet the guidelines issued by the federal government made it unclear to universities how their eligibility to receive federal funds would be affected by admitting homeschoolers. Few colleges updated their admissions policies because of the ambiguity.


BYU: Independent Study in a Supported Environment

Many homeschoolers and their parents become apprehensive as the high school years approach. Subject matter becomes more difficult, selections of courses increase, and the pressure of post graduation options often makes the homeschooling family question the decision to continue.

Speed Reading for Homeschoolers

Every homeschooling teen should take this Speed Reading class. They will be able to finish text books in days instead of months and can graduate from high school in half the time, with college credits under their belt!
