Any other homeschoolers?

Well, there are as many different ways to homeschool as there are homeschoolers. Here in CO, we have full, equal access to all sports and ECA, so that is not a problem. The sort-of guru of homeschooling has a son that will graduate from the CGA either this spring or next (I think it’s this year). A well-respected author of one of the first “how to get your hser into college” books (she’s since written several others) has a son that is a graduate of the AFA. So, it can be done. On the average, homeschoolers test quite a bit HIGHER on standardized tests, so that helps. We’ve chosen early college classes to get around the lack of classroom experience. There are a number of quite lively homeschool to college loops and we glean a lot of knowledge there. At Academy Days (with MOC reps and academy reps) the speakers have been quite encouraging. We’ll let you know how it went about a year from now… Another way to look at it–as a “college counselor” I only have one to worry about at a time!
