Unconventional Education: The Homeschooled Student College Experience
Amaddeo, Danielle
Journal of Student Affairs, New York University, v17 p25-31 2021
Homeschooled students are unique in a college environment. Without adhering to a traditional school system, homeschooled students possess various learning opportunities outside of the classroom. However, because they lack the formal educational prerequisites held by traditional students, their achievements and experiences may differ. Stereotypes also exist for these students; they are often perceived as socially inept due to lack of prior socialization, for example. Institutions interested in including homeschooled students in campus diversity initiatives should develop a better understanding of their experiences. Once institutions understand the homeschooled student experience, then programming and resources can be offered to increase diversity initiatives. This article will also highlight the importance of parent and family services and how they can be incorporated in programming and resources.
