Review

Lee's practical approach and her own success in homeschooling high school students into the colleges of their choice (with scholarships!) is encouraging and reassuring. She outlines the fundamentals for successful transcripts and homeschool course classes and descriptions to help guide the college bound student to the college of their choice.

She speaks from experience and from speaking to college admission offices all over the country.  There are extensive appendixes that detail course descriptions so that a home school parent has a reliable guide with which to work from.
