Ann.without.an.e Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 They have dual enrollment. Just thinking about all of this high school stuff makes my head spin. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth S Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 No experience, but children of several friends have done it. They offer a discount for dual enrollment, which you can then go on to their "regular" online courses and/or go to the brick & mortar Liberty Academy in Virginia. It has a very conservative Christian teaching, but friends were surprised that some of the online teachers were not quite a super-conservative as they had expected. Most local cc tuition is free or cheaper than Liberty, which makes it a more appealing option financially . . . but earning dual enrollment credits at Liberty may help you to transfer to another conservative Christian school. I would also investigate to see if the college your child plans to attend after graduating from high school accepts Liberty's credits. Some do not.

kiana Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I would only choose this route for dual enrollment if I were quite sure dc would attend only a conservative Christian university. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some do not.Really? This surprises me because Liberty is accredited. If it were BJU or PCC, I'd definitely understand (because they aren't). (Of course, it depends on the course as to whether it will transfer completely or just just as an elective, but all colleges have that issue, even state schools.)

MomsintheGarden Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I would only choose this route for dual enrollment if I were quite sure dc would attend only a conservative Christian university.:iagree:I would say that I would only choose this route if you know your student will be attending LU. I know several students who are taking/have taken LU DE or online courses. It has been a good thing for them, but all have gone on to enroll at LU. Some have used the DE/online option to be able to get their degrees at home, in less time, and sometimes for less money. One has gone on to law school with a full scholarship (don't know if it's full tuition or full ride) after spending only two years at LU to finish her bachelor's. Two are at home majoring in criminal justice - they want to go into law enforcement. One is a science major. One is majoring in TESL. And one is getting her master's in public health (nutrition). It works, but secular schools and even other Christian schools probably won't take the credits because most are very specific to LU degrees. BTW, the LU online program is extremely popular. We personally know professors who teach online courses, and there are pros and cons to them. The professors are PhDs dedicated to teaching. They are the real deal. The online courses are a huge benefit to LU - a literal cash cow. The university has lots and lots of money and is building like crazy. If your student plans to matriculate to LU, I highly recommend their Homeschool Advantage program as a very inexpensive way to study for LU's required Bible classes at home: http://www.libertyu.com/index.cfm?PID=16429 HSA is not a DE/online program. The materials are free if your student applies and is accepted to LU. Your student studies at home and takes tests to get the credit. If he tests out of his Bible classes, LU only charges $100 to put the credits on his transcript. It is a really good deal.
