"Can you do high school sports as a homeschooler?"
Follow Fearlessly Different on Instagram and Facebook Email questions to [email protected] Music by FASSounds from Pixabay
That has got to be one of my most asked questions as a homeschooler - and the answer is not only can you do high school sports as a homeschooler, but you can THRIVE! That is true largely because of the work of amazing people like Coach Nate Hartman. Nate Hartman is one of the founding members of the athletics program we (my sister and I) have used for years and he is also the founder and director of the National Christian School Athletic Association (NCSAA) - an organization focused on providing athletic opportunities to Christian schools and homeschool sports teams across the country! In this episode we talk about what it takes to start a sports program, what it means to be a member school at NCSAA, and how to build a thriving high school sports experience as a homeschooler!

I get asked very frequently about how homeschoolers can prepare for and take standardized tests (especially SAT, ACT, and CLT) successfully. In todays episode featuring Regina Gravrok, the Homeschool Partnership Manager at the Classic Learning Test (CLT) and a homeschool graduate, we cover how homeschoolers can not only conquer college entry exams, but use them to make their college dreams a reality.
Follow Fearlessly Different on Instagram and Facebook Email questions to [email protected] Music by FASSounds from Pixabay
The Classic Learning Test is "hacking" the teach-for-the test method that dominates conventional schools today. There is no special book or curriculum to prepare for the test. You prepare by having a good education - one rooted in the ideas of traditional, classic education and one that focuses on the formation of the whole student: mind, body, and spirit. We discuss all of this in more detail throughout the interview!
Thank you to Regina Gravrok and the CLT for being a part of the podcast!
