About this Episode

Does homeschooling in high school feel like a leap you’re not ready to take? Zan Tyler and veteran homeschool mom Beth Martin talk through the doubts parents often carry into the high school years and show how much possibility lies beyond them. Beth shares what she learned homeschooling her three children and guiding hundreds of families through high school, including one surprising truth: colleges are actively recruiting homeschool students. Zan recalls how flexibility allowed her son to move into high school coursework early, opening doors to missions, leadership, and deeper faith. Discover how these years can prepare your teen for far more than a transcript.

At BJU Press Homeschool, we’re committed to providing children an education from a biblical worldview that is academically sound and challenges them to advance, think critically, and live like Christ. This type of education is not often possible in public schools because of the number of children taught in a classroom, a difference in worldview, and peer and societal pressure to conform. Homeschooling allows parents to instruct and disciple their children without daily fighting messages from an opposing worldview taught in the classroom. And with tuition costs and fees for private schooling or tutoring, homeschooling may be the only option for parents who are concerned for their children’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
