College Planning for Homeschooled Students

The Road Less Traveled to College Success

About 6% of school-aged children are homeschooled in America. If you’re a homeschool student or the parent of one, you’ve already taken a unique path in your educational journey.

You are probably accustomed to a flexible, self-directed approach to learning that is different from the traditional student trajectory. Because of those strengths, it’s time to apply that same independence and creativity to your college planning process!

At Beyond Ivy we are well-versed in homeschooling and all that it entails in regards to college admissions and success. We will answer all of your questions and guide you through the process.

Guiding Homeschool Families

The college admissions process can be challenging for any students and their family, but there are specific considerations that need to be thought through for homeschoolers.

Our lead consultant, Rose Ellen, has firsthand experience with homeschooling, successfully guiding her own children from K-12 to college, even navigating the intensive application process for a military academy.

Her deep understanding of the distinct needs of homeschoolers, paired with her dedication to providing specialized, bespoke support, is what makes Beyond Ivy a great fit for homeschooler college prep.

Our comprehensive services are not a one-size-fits-all approach. We tailor our services to each and every student and their individual journey. Here’s what you can expect from Beyond Ivy:

Transition to College With Ease

When you embark on your college journey and you’re coming from a homeschool education, the process can feel exciting but also overwhelming. Colleges are not just looking for the brightest student or the best essay; they want individuals who will bring a spark with them and do well at the selected school.

For homeschool students the college application process is not unlike a traditional process but there are a few key differences. Instead of letters from the faculty at a high school, you will request letters from the educational communities you’ve been a part of. They will look at your extracurricular activities, volunteer work, and yes of course, your grades.

At Beyond Ivy we have extensive knowledge when it comes to the homeschooling college process because we’ve lived it! We will get to know each and every student so we can tailor our services to your individual needs.
