Not every high schooler is destined for college, and that’s okay! In this episode of The Essence of Homeschooling, Kim and Michele discuss the many paths available to students who may not be interested in higher education right now—or ever. Whether your teen is considering military service, trade school, a certification program, or diving straight into the workforce, we explore ways to support their journey while keeping future options open.

From career exploration and apprenticeships to dual enrollment and vocational training, we share practical strategies for crafting a meaningful high school experience that equips students for success—without a four-year degree. Plus, we cover the importance of issuing a professional homeschool transcript and how Statheros Academy can help.

If you're homeschooling a high schooler who isn't planning on college, this episode is packed with valuable insights and ideas to help them thrive. This is just part 1 of this discussion, be sure to come back next week for the rest of the conversation!
