Homeschool Students

Nationwide, more and more homeschooling families are choosing community colleges as the next step for their children’s education. That trend also holds true for Prairie State College with more homeschooled students enrolling each year.

One option for homeschooled students who have completed high school is to spend the first two years of college at PSC completing general education requirements and lower division courses in their major before transferring to a four-year college or university. Taking classes at a community college provides a smooth transition to college life.

A second option for some advanced homeschooled students is taking college level classes while still being homeschooled. For those homeschooling parents who find it difficult to teach foreign language or laboratory science, for example, enrolling their advanced high school students is a good option. These students can enroll in classes such as Art, Biology, Communication, English (Composition and Literature), History, Humanities, Natural Sciences, Philosophy, and Social Sciences.  Some homeschooled students even qualify for enrollment in the Honors program, which offers a board array of classes.
