<p>Fencermother makes some great points! Our family homeschooled (4) through 8th and then transitioned to a small independent high school. They are all excellent students - still very excited about learning - we think possibly because they hadn’t been in school all those years. </p>
<p>I agree - check out what each college requires of homeschoolers - some require additional writing samples or extra testing - and definitely plan on taking the community college courses dual enrollment - you don’t want to have your son applying as a transfer. There used to be some AP courses offered online through PA Homeschoolers - also an older but useful book out there entitled ‘And What About College?’ by Cafi Cohen.</p>
<p>I also know of (through my children’s experiences) homeschooled students who have been admitted to very competitive schools. Please feel free to PM me for specifics.</p>
