Im 16 years old and attending Continental Academy. I left the 8th grade in feb. 07 to attend their home schooling program. I looked questions up about the school in the answers section and found out that people where getting denied jobs and into schools, but other people where getting better jobs and into schools. I've been thinking about this for the past week. I'm afraid to back to school because that means I wont finish until I'm 21 and I'll have to go back to middle school and be 17 in the 8th grade. The only reason I didn't really look into the school was because my cousin attended it and now she is in a community college. The only thing is she left public schools in the 11th grade. Does anybody have any information that will help me out. I really would appreciate it. I live in Norfolk, Virginia if anyone needs to look into any information.

I think that no matter what school you're talking about, there will always be some that didn't get into a certain college or get a certain job, and others who did. It is my personal opinion that this could be due to the person's character, not what school he or she attended. I am an advocate for going with what your gut instinct tells you to do. Do you feel like it's a good school? If so, then you will be successful. If not, you probably should look elsewhere.

Local commercial colleges have less stringent entrance requirements. Although you made the mistake of being home schooled you can improve your chances of entering a good college. Take your general education requirements and concentrate on English and Math.
Either go for one or two years, if you go for two years get your associates, and then apply to a larger school that has the curriculum you're looking for.
I doubt there will be many since the home schoolers tend to stay in their little world but if they come in here don't let their bigoted message get to you. Fact is under 2% of admissions to US public colleges are home schooled and the number in private schools is even lower.

Finish up where you are and then take some online courses. It does not matter where you get the education as long as you get it. Good luck.
