Accelerated Distance Learning
Has anyone read this book or looked into this option?
For anyone who doesn’t know, THIS WEBSITE has a lot of information.
Brad Voeller wrote the book, Accelerated Distance Learning, which explains how he got his BA in six months and he explains exactly how to do it. The web-site linked had the resources to make it happen. It’s not expensive. The program they sell is less than $300.
I do not plan to try to rush any of my children through this program in six months, but I do plan to see if we can develop a plan for three years.
Part of the reason I want to do this is that in planning for high school for TL I am finding that she should be able to take CLEP tests once she has finished the high school course at home. She will then get dual credit for high school and college. We also have a community college available to us for free tuition during her junior and senior years in high school. If we combine the strategies used in the accelerated program, she should be able to get her college degree without much more work than finishing high school would be.
There are many things I like about this approach.
• It is significantly less expensive than four years at a university.
• She will not have to sit in a classroom listening to liberal professors teach their atheistic agenda.
• Most of it can be done at home.
• She can study from a Christian world view.
• She can still get a degree from an accredited university.
• She will avoid the college scene and pressure involved in that.
• She will never have to live in a dorm.
• She will not start out her adult life in debt.
• Rather than wracking up debt, she will be able to begin working and saving early and be more prepared for marriage with a nest egg.
Have you employed any of these strategies or do you plan to?
