How does a homeschooler get into college?  Can a homeschool parent create a viable transcript?  What needs to be on the transcript for the best chance at college scholarships?

If you are planning to homeschool high school students, you have probably encountered these questions. You may even know someone who is pretty intimidated with these thoughts.  Join a veteran homeschool mom to get answers to these and other important homeschool questions in a series of four homeschool workshops in one day designed to provide answers and equip you to have the best tools for providing a stellar education for your students.

The workshop sessions include:

• Session 1:  Goal Setting and Record Keeping                   9:00-10:30 AM
• Session 2:  Setting up Lesson Plans                                  10:45-12:00 PM
• Session 3:  Preparing for High School and College           1:00-2:25 PM
• Session 4:  Creating a Homeschool Transcript                   2:40-4:00 PM

Creating a Homeschool Transcript will provide a framework for accessing the correct information to put on a transcript along with sample templates that you can customize at home.  You will also receive a GPA Calculator Tool which takes the stress out of figuring the Grade Point Average. This class goes hand-in-hand with the Preparing for High School and College session
