In this episode, Rowan talks about the factors to consider when choosing post-secondary options, and how to prepare a transcript. She goes over a selection of post-secondary institutions across Canada and describes their admissions requirements for homeschoolers. Rowan also gives some tips on how to get a high school diploma or use transferring from one institution to another as a way to get into your post-secondary education of choice.

A gap year is one way to help finance post-secondary education. Here’s a link to our episode on Gap Years:
