Life After High School Mini-Con

Navigate High School & Beyond

Parents and their teens are invited to attend this FREE, fun, informative morning on navigating high school and beyond. There are many different pathways open to homeschooled students after high school, and our goal is to give you an overview of several of them.

Our desire is to show parents that not only is it possible to homeschool through high school, but you can be successful and prepare your student for whatever God may have for him after graduation, including college. Teens are encouraged to come to learn more about the possibilities as well as the college admissions process.

This event is FREE and open to the public, though registration is required.
