Making dual enrollment work for your family can be a challenge. When I see other families who have accomplished dual enrollment, I feel as if all the stars had to align in order for things to go well. However, that is not quite the truth. Sometimes you feel as if your child HAS to have perfect grades or HAS to be excelling academically, or your child HAS to be able to juggle many things in order to get this done.

Making High School Dual Enrollment Work for You

Each of these statements is all very false in the grand scheme of things. You only need to have the motivation for the opportunity that allows you to participate in a dual enrollment model. It can be done and be done well.

Your child can struggle in school and yet still be able to take a class or two in order to be in dual enrollment. Their grades don’t need to be perfect and they can learn to juggle course effectively from home.

Get ahead of the game. Explore just how dual enrollment is a wonderful way to get ahead of the graduation game in your homeschool. Your child will learn good study habits, save money, and more.
