How CollegePrep Works

CollegePrep is a one semester dual credit and collegiate preparation program for homeschool high school students ages 14-18. CollegePrep does not require your student to increase their workload, take additional classes, or force you to buy extra curriculum.

One of my favorite things about CollegePrep is the accountability. And this is why I recommend CollegePrep as a great way to earn college credit in high school.

Through CollegePrep, your student earns high school and college credit, at the same time, for what they are already learning, using curriculum you already own. And, this counts as an honors course on your student’s high school transcript.

During your student’s one semester in CollegePrep, they can earn 12 accredited and transferable college credits, which are also worth 2 high school credits, for what they are learning in subjects like History, Science, Math, and Literature.

Overview of how CollegePrep works

Step 1

Before your student begins CollegePrep, you receive a phone consultation with your Collegiate Consultant, who is also a homeschool mom. Your Collegiate Consultant maps out your student’s entire dual credit plan based on factors such as the curriculum you use and your student's academic strengths.

Your Collegiate Consultant is like a trusted friend who makes your life easier by guiding you through the dual credit, curriculum, and high school transcription process.

Step 2

After your collegiate consultation, your student begins working directly with their Accountability Mentor through twice monthly one-on-one sessions over the phone.

The Accountability Mentor helps your student stay on track with their dual credit plan. And through this relationship, they mentor your student to achieve growth in the areas of accountability and personal responsibility—a unique benefit not offered in any conveyor-belt type dual credit program found at the Community College.

Step 3

The Accountability Mentor and the LearningNetwork, an online study resource CollegePrep students use to prepare to pass the required exams to earn college credit, are the two elements that prepare your student to earn college credit for what they are learning in high school.

Once your student’s Accountability Mentor, the test-preparedness indicator on the LearningNetwork, and you are all in agreement, your student takes the exam to earn college credit at a testing center in your local community.

In just one semester, your student can earn 12 college credits and 2 high school credits, which your Collegiate Consultant shows you how to document on your student’s high school transcript.

Accreditation & transferability of your student’s college credit

The 12 college credits your student can earn in CollegePrep hold the most accepted form of accreditation in the United States. Your student’s college credits can transfer to over 2,900 universities and colleges across the United States.

And unlike AP, which ties students to an inflexible testing schedule, the exams your student takes to earn college credit can be taken almost any day of the week.

CollegePrep simplifies the dual credit process and custom-tailors your student’s dual credit plan around their academic strengths. CollegePrep is engineered to add balance and stability to the busy lives of homeschool families who wish to give their students the academic and life advantages of earning high school and college credit at the same time.
