Middle school and high school students should attend to hear about job opportunities in the construction industry (electrical, welding, engineering, etc). Big thanks to one of our Essential moms (Kathy Bowden) arranging this special opportunity!
Register at https://www.findyourchristiancollege.com/college-fairs/birmingham-al-christian-college-fair Click the Registered Schools tab to view all the colleges which will be in attendance. This event is great for high school students at all grade levels, but juniors/seniors will get the most immediate benefit. Freshman/sophomores will enjoy exploring possibilities and getting to know more about college experiences. Parents are encouraged to ask about scholarships. Remember that your student is enrolled in a church school which will provide transcripts and recommendations, even though homeschooling is your method of education.
We encourage ALL parents to join us for this weekend of inspiration, encouragement, information, and resource. With special sessions for Dads and teens, you will find something to address all ages and stages of homeschooling.
