Homeschool Records Worth Imitating

High School Feedback

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is hearing the stories my clients tell of their success in college admission and scholarships. I know from experience the excitement of hearing that my student was admitted to his number one college, and the relief we felt when he won scholarships. Hearing your stories is what keeps me doing this work of encouragement, so imagine my delight when Lisa in Washington sent me this: “Hi Lee! During the registration...

Recent Homeschool Graduate Discusses Community College

Feedback

I have written extensively about community college, and how it can be a "Rated R" environment. I'm the first to admit that my opinion is a little uncommon, and that many homeschooler have great success with dual enrollment community college.
