What About College?

When my oldest child was four years old, a relative objected to our future homeschooling plans:  What about college?  I wanted to say, “What about it?  The kid’s four years old!”  Homeschooling your child in first grade does not mean that you are committed to homeschooling through high school.  It’s okay to take it one year at a time.

But, the short answer is:  yes, kids who are homeschooled can attend college.  Many colleges actively recruit homeschoolers because they have such a superior education.

If you make it all the way to junior high, make sure that you are able to write a good transcript.  Books are available to walk you through this process if you want guidance with preparing a transcript.
