Are you homeschooling high school with college in mind?

Summary: Homeschooling a college bound teen is not that hard.  #homeschoolinghighschool #getintocollege  

Are you homeschooling a teen who wants to go to college? 

Or are you a mama who is thinking about homeschooling high school but wondering how that might affect their chances of getting into college?

We homeschooled all the way and our daughter got into each of the  colleges on her list, with her homeschool transcript.  No problem!
You can keep your nurturing high school program and help your teen get into college at the same time.

And your homeschool can still be interest led!

We kept the FUN in our high school years.

High school is not just about core studies.

Our daughter explored hands-on science projects to save the salmon in our local creek, made videos and entered them in a contest, ran for office at Youth and Government, competed in irish stepdancing, learned to make freezer jam, and made lots of high school friends.

There's electives, high school activities, and time to explore new things.  It is a great time for your teen to discover their own interests and gifts.

Knowing the details of college planning can free you up to create an individualized high school program for your teen, like we did.

But how?
