This beautiful Homeschooling for College Credit story was sent to me by the White family.They discovered Homeschooling for College Credit in 2020 and have used primarily Sophia, Studycom, and Straighterline to get her daughter through nearly 3 years of college during the last 2 years of high school!
My Homeschool for College Credit journey started in 2020. It was the first time that I enrolled into the group. I started learning so much information regarding dual enrollment it caught my interests. At the same time, I felt that I did not want to pressure my daughter (back then a Sophomore) into taking up the high school requirements and college credit courses. In my mind, I thought my she could not hack it. I prayed about it and I enrolled her in the first free Sophia course that they were offering.
She passed her first class and it’s been a non-stop journey with credit on demand. What I liked about the credit on demand option is that it worked with my work schedule and their partnership with Liberty University. I did not have to drive to a local community college due to my rural area long distance location. Although I did find out later on that students were able to take online classes at the community college, but at the time since she was a Sophomore, there was a lot of red-tape to follow to access free dual enrollment classes. So, we just kept with the credit on demand.
PRO TIP: abundant amounts of college credit on demand is only a solid choice when the university that has a partnership. This is a good example of using a partnership for resourceful high school planning.
Two years in the making, and so far, she has covered all of the general requirements for Liberty University Online where she wants to obtain her bachelor’s degree in health science. Currently, she has accumulated 78 college credits on demand. She is still working on trying to transfer at least 90 carefully planned credits by the time she completely enrolls in Liberty University Online.
Our priority is that she not take loans for college. She wants to become a future Physician Assistant in dermatology and what better way to start the clinical tactical experience in the field after high school as medical assistant.
