Where Homeschoolers
Struggle in College
By Kyle McManamy

HEN IT COMES TO EDUCATING your chil-
dren, homeschooling is an incredible option, and
it has the numbers to prove it. College students who were
homeschooled have a higher graduation rate and GPA
than their peers, enter college with better standardized
test scores, and make better, more well-adjusted citizens.
Hooray for homeschooling! But seriously, with all
44
these successes, there is still room for growth in how
homeschooling parents prepare their students for college.
As a college pastor, I see a lot of homeschooled students
at university, and I’ve noticed a few areas in which home-
schooling has left them ill-equipped. These don’t apply to
all homeschooling students but are merely trends I have
seen over the years.
