What Colleges Say About Homeschooling
Education After Homeschooling
Making the transition from homeschooling to college is an exciting step, and today’s colleges are more welcoming than ever to homeschooled students.
Admissions offices understand that homeschooling often fosters self-motivation, discipline, and a love for learning—qualities that help students thrive in higher education. Many colleges even have specific resources and admissions policies designed to support homeschoolers during the application process, ensuring a smooth path to higher education.
Homeschoolers are accepted at colleges and universities of all types, from local community colleges to prestigious Ivy League institutions. In fact, admissions officers appreciate the diverse backgrounds and unique educational journeys homeschoolers bring to their campuses. Colleges often look at multiple factors including standardized testing scores to evaluate homeschool applicants.
Whether you’re aiming for a specialized program, a large public university, or a private liberal arts college, you’ll find that homeschoolers are celebrated for their individuality and academic achievements.
What Colleges are Saying
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
“We do not have separate requirements for homeschooled applicants. Homeschooled applicants, like all of our applicants, are considered within their context, which includes schooling choice, family situation, geographic location, resources, opportunities, and challenges.”
– MIT Admissions
Stanford University
“Stanford has found that the brightest homeschoolers bring a mix of unusual experiences, special motivation and intellectual independence that makes them a good bet to flourish on the Farm.”
-Stanford Magazine
Seton Hall University
-Seton Magazine
“Homeschoolers ‘don’t have to be forced to read. Some of the people I know who are best read, in fact, are those who have been homeschooled.”
Homeschoolers Finding College Success
“Power Homeschool allowed our oldest to start Dual Enrollment online, in his Junior year and was on the Dean’s List both years he participated and is now graduating with 19 College Credit Hours. He also did really well on his SAT Scores. He applied early in his Senior year to eight Engineering Colleges and was accepted to all eight, with great merit scholarships.”
“With Power Homeschool, my daughter graduated early and is going to college with multiple scholarships.”
Two of my children took off and flew through their classes one graduating herself four years early and starting college the other one (who is younger) preparing to do that in the next year or so.
“Four months ago, I didn’t know how we were going to get her (our daughter) graduated. Today, she has already finished 3 year long courses, started more, and maintains a 3.67 GPA. From no idea how she will finish high school to on track to graduate almost a year early – we can’t thank you enough. Strongly recommend giving Power Homeschool a try.”
My oldest son graduated last year and scored 4 points above our states average on his ACT. Because of the set up of PH he was able to learn what was needed and then spend his free time pursuing music which enabled him to receive a music scholarship to pay for his first two years in college! He is now a thriving college student and doing well! PH works!
