Getting College Credits in High School
Interview with Liz
Kroboth
high school homeschooler & college student
 Liz Kroboth is a perfect example of Alternative
Paths to College. She was a homeschooled student who took almost two full
years of college courses while she was in high school through the CPCC Concurrent Enrollment Program in
Charlotte, North Carolina. Not only was Liz a student at the college, she got involved
with student government in a big way. According to Tony Zeiss, the president of the
college, "Liz served as our student body president 2000-2001. She was home-schooled
and was very prepared for this leadership role. She served on our board of trustees and
had to learn to move with ease from working with peers to working with some of the
community's top leaders and policy makers."

Interview with CPCC
President Tony Zeiss
on the Concurrent Enrollment Program
hosted by Sue Spataro
  Author
Cafi Cohen said, "More than 90 percent of high school homeschoolers have taken
college classes concurrent with their high school homeschooling. Several had accumulated
more than a year’s worth of college credits." There are an increasing number of
these programs around the country that provide alternative
paths to college. In this Faces of
Homeschooling Profile, we looked at a "Concurrent Enrollment" of
CPCC (Central Piedmont Community College) in Charlotte, NC. We asked CPCC President Tony
Zeiss to ask him a few questions about this program for high school homeschoolers. High
school homeschoolers can take college courses while still homeschooling. The college
credits are real and are transferable to four year colleges.

Meet the author - Grace Llewellyn
"The Teenage Liberation Handbook
"Internships & Apprenticeships"
 Whenever a discussion ensues about
homeschooling, and especially unschooling, in our many discussion groups, Grace's name
always comes up along with her landmark book. Grace Llewellyn is a former middle school
English teacher, the director of Not Back to School Camp, the founder of the Genius Tribe
resource center and mail order catalog, and the editor of two other books on unschooling.
She has graciously permitted us to reprint part of Chapter 33 which deals with Interships
and Apprenticeships and also agreed to "hang around" and answer our questions.
This is a rare treat and I hope you enjoy it.

Interview & how to get a diploma
  They
have been homeschooling support group leaders and activists for more than 15 years. In
their book, they help Christian homeschool parents gather all the information a high
school counselor usually supplies: information on colleges, careers, the military,
standardized testing, and future planning. In this interview, we discuss the advantages of
a Christian based program, perspectives on unschooling, and what they are doing now as
part of the homeschooling movement. As a bonus, they have graciously agreed to share with
us a portion of their book on providing a diploma
for your children. This is all very valuable information which I hope you get
a chance to see. Also, they have agreed to answer some of your questions on our Christian
support group. I hope everyone gets a chance to stop by and see the interview and perhaps
ask a question.
