Class Experience

As a college professor, homeschool mom, and former high school teacher and department head, I am uniquely qualified to help students prepare for their college experience. When I taught high school, I guided students through a capstone project their Senior year. The problem with these ambitious, multifaceted projects is that students work so hard, but it's too late to brag about any of their accomplishments on their college applications! This is why I recommend homeschool students complete a passion project during their Sophomore or Junior years. Then, they will enter the college essay writing process with a wealth of rich experiences to discuss. 

This 12 week course will be divided into three 4 Week Modules. To keep each other accountable, we will meet once per week on Zoom. (It is not mandatory to attend every meeting. These meetings are intended to be an encouragement, not a burden to the process.)
