According to 2016 information published by the National Home Education Research Institute, there are 2.3 million children presently being home-schooled in the U.S. If your son or daughter is among them, they already enjoy a statistical advantage in many important facets of life.
Surveys commissioned in 2003 by the Home School Legal Defense Association have linked home schooling to greater community involvement in adulthood and above-average scores on measures of psychological and emotional development. On the more apropos subject of higher education, the college graduation rate for homeschooled students is 67 percent — nine points higher than the 58 percent clip for traditionally schooled teens, according to a 2009 study conducted by the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, that explored the academic outcomes of homeschooled students.
Your child may be likely to succeed in college but, of course, there is still that small matter of getting into the college of his or her choice. In working with many home-schooled families and students over the years, College Transitions has indentified the factors that appear to matter most to admissions office professionals, and are pleased to pass our advice along to your family.
