The Homeschool Specialist Patricia Wesolowski

When I first found out about this college exam option created by Christians I was more than excited! This interview includes more about me than you probably care to know starting with my education as well as why I decided to homeschool my own children in the 1980s! Feel free to fast forward to the part where we talk about the CLT and Bryan College! 

Having a rising senior stirs up a variety of mixed emotions from relief (assuming your senior graduates with passing grades), to sadness (it is the end of an era after all), to concern (are they ready for the next step?), to anxiety (can we afford college?). Allow me to help you plan ahead so that you can enjoy this experience with as little stress as possible.

If your student is ready to handle the rigors of a college class, then being intentional when choosing which classes to take is important. Listen in to find out more about which dual enrollment classes your student should take while in high school. 

Last spring when COVID hit the United States many changes took place almost immediately. Many colleges went to virtual classes, ACT and SAT cancelled test dates, competitions were either cancelled or changed to virtual events, and graduations, as well as other celebrations were either cancelled or postponed. These are a few of the negative affects of COVID upon life in the US, particularly college life! Understandably, many students were very disappointed with the changes that took place. However, even in the midst of all of these negative outcomes, there have been a few positive changes to celebrate!

No one wants to borrow money for college, but there are times when taking out loans may be necessary. Reducing the cost of college through scholarships, grants, and more is preferred to taking out loans. Being aware of options and opportunities and planning ahead is the best way to make college affordable

You have a student entering high school, and the next four years will be very important to your child’s success after graduation. As daunting as that seems, be encouraged because with intention, planning, and prayer the next four years can prepare your student for college, career, and a successful life!
