Homeschool Graduate!

My oldest officially graduated earlier this week. Wahoooo! I won't miss accounting for his progress to the state. It is so pleasant to be out from under the education regulations. Not much has changed other than the legalities; he still continues to learn and work toward a career.

New short term goals are CLEPing out of Algebra, Calculus, and English Composition.  We take a tour of the local community college campus in April. He's leaning toward an Associate's in Computer Science with a transfer across town to the four year college to finish up with a Bachelor's degree. The community college is very liberal with accepting CLEP credits. He could CLEP out of as many as are available for his degree.

This link is super for finding free college classes online, then there's Khan Academy, and official CLEP study guides. All appear to be helpful for acing the CLEP.

All about the CLEP, only $80.00! This beats the cost of a class.

I'll be sure to update here with the CLEP experiences and results.

Congratulations to you and your son. What a mammoth effort from you to homeschool for so long. Good luck with his college studies.

Thanks! Who would know better than you the long journey it is with a child. 💕 Nice to hear from you.

Wonderful! We are doing one extra year, officially Jonathan is in 12th, but we will continue another year and then look into colleges. He is taking a college class right now for credit and is doing well.

Fantastic, Eva. Yes, his first year will be a lot of CLEP, and part time college. He isn't diving into college full-time either.

That's wonderful! You both are to be congratulated.

That will be a good transition then (and cheaper too). Good luck with it all.
