Are Your Homeschooled Kids Ready for Life After Graduation?

Show by David & Leslie Nunnery
You’ve spent years teaching your children, discipling their hearts, and preparing them for whatever God has planned for their lives. But what happens when it’s finally time to let them go? Are they academically prepared? Are they ready to make wise decisions? And how can you help them navigate the next season without allowing fear to take over? In this episode of Teach Them Diligently, Leslie Nunnery welcomes Matthew Weathers from Bob Jones University for a thoughtful conversation about preparing homeschool students for life after high school. Drawing on his years in education and his work with college students, Matthew shares what he’s seeing in today’s changing educational landscape, how homeschool graduates are performing academically, and why the years immediately following high school are so important for spiritual formation. Leslie also shares from her experience raising and launching four children, including her youngest daughter, who currently attends Bob Jones University. In this episode, you’ll discover: How homeschool graduates are performing academically in college—and where they sometimes need additional preparation. Why time management, independence, and personal responsibility matter just as much as academic readiness. How to prayerfully evaluate your child’s options after high school, whether that includes college, work, or another path. Why the people surrounding your children during their young adult years can have such a lasting influence. How to prepare your children to stand firm in their faith while learning to trust God with their future. What parents should consider when evaluating a Christian college.
