Homeschooling at a Glance

Questions continued: high school and beyond

I have more questions...

Is my student eligible for honor societies?

Yes

Can my student participate in Dual Enrollment?

Yes

Is my student eligible for scholarships?

Yes

Can my student go into the military, attend a university, technical school, or junior college?

Yes, we can help you through the process.

Will my student have to get a GED to go to college?

We guide families throughout the high school years to avoid this situation. If a student does not meet the ACT score requirement, some colleges require other admission criteria. However, the ACT score is the determining factor for most higher institutions.

By the way, the new CLT college entrance assessment is available through Heartwood.
