“Let kids be kids! Why are you rushing them into adulthood?”
This was a common comment
when talking about my children earning their associate degrees BEFORE graduating from high school.
But here’s what I think people are misunderstanding…
Instead of taking a year of high school English, my children take 1 semester of college English through concurrent enrollment.
That ONE college English class counts as:
✅ 3 college credits of English toward their college degree
✅ A FULL YEAR of high school English credits
ONE class. TWO purposes.
And here’s where it gets even better…
💰 That college English class costs us just $15 through our local concurrent enrollment program.
The EXACT SAME CLASS at the EXACT SAME UNIVERSITY, taken after high school graduation, would cost over $600!
That’s a savings of more than 97%!
By strategically replacing high school courses with college-level courses that fulfill BOTH sets of requirements, my children have been able to earn their associate degrees before graduating from high school.
And because many of those college classes fulfill a full year of high school requirements in just one semester, they’ve had MORE time to be kids, not less!
-Time to compete in high school sports.
-Time to work part-time jobs.
-Time for a wildly active social life.
They’re not missing out on being teenagers. They’re simply getting more mileage out of the education they’re already receiving.
With up to 2 years of their Bachelor’s degree being completed before high school graduation, they are able to graduate with their BA years ahead of their peers…while saving tens of THOUSANDS of dollars in tuition, room & board in the process!
Over ONE MILLION people watched my reel about my children earning their associate degrees in high school.
And I was absolutely BURIED in questions!
Even after creating an entire series explaining our process, I received hundreds of messages asking me to put everything into one downloadable resource.
So I created TWO!

Not every college course fulfills a high school graduation requirement, and not every credit will transfer or apply toward a future degree.
