The day has finally arrived when you graduate
your oldest child from high school, having homeschooled through most, if not
all, of the school years. It’s been a trying journey, but you have successfully
finished homeschooling…at least for one of your children.
But now what? What do you do when
homeschooling comes to an end? Where can your student turn from here? That is a
question to which you and your student will learn the answer by the time you
get to this point!
Here are some examples of possible
opportunities that your student can take advantage of that are beyond the
normal scope of attending community college or university:
·
missions trips
·
online college
·
trade/technical school
·
professional
performing company
·
real-life work
experience in the field of work in which your student is interested
·
apprenticeship

Each of these will direct your student’s
further learning and can be specialized and customized to that field or
industry in which your child is interested. The overall goal for my husband and
I with our children is to produce lifelong learners who are willing
servants to be used in whatever capacity God has predestined them. He gave
them gifts and talents and we believe it is our job, our duty as their parents,
to give them as many opportunities to fulfill that calling as we can.
So ask your students as they enter their
freshman year of high school what they enjoy doing, what they can see as their
career, and what their passion is. Believe it or not, they probably are already
leaning toward a particular profession even now.
