It's Time to Rethink

High School

& College

If you’re homeschooling, you have the flexibility to reimagine high school entirely — and that includes the possibility for your teen to graduate with both a high school diploma and a fully accredited bachelor’s degree, debt-free.

The best part, is that rethinking high school allows your student to have the time for career exploration, co-op, debate team, theater, sports, volunteering, interning, etc. all while earning a bachelor degree.

Strategy isn't about taking shortcuts, it's leveraging everything we've learned the past 50-100 years about education and how we learn best, delivering content in a way that keeps teens engaged and excited about learning, it's applying over 2 decades of experience and expertise, and providing families the benefits of our unique relationship with the universities that your student with attend and graduate from.

"It's better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction." - Diane Grant

High School & College Experts

We're experts in helping parents homeschool or provide home education for high school students. Whether you're brand new or a veteran, our innovative approach to education allows your student to earn a quality education that focuses on learning to mastery instead of busywork, and allows them to graduate high school with a Bachelor's Degree.

We partner with the university your student will graduate from, so every class mapped out is approved before your student takes them. Students who earn dual enrollment credits outside of Smarter by 1 Degree are collecting credits without knowing how they will transfer and be accepted at a four year university. This leads to disappointment, wasted time, and wasted money.

Dual Credit vs. Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment is when your student is enrolled in a university and completing their classes. These classes have busywork, deadlines, and due dates which can be stressful. Dual credit is when your student earns alternative credits which specific universities accept towards accredited degrees. We specialize in helping students complete self-paced classes focused on learning to mastery instead of busywork through university agreements. We don't collect credits at Smarter by 1 Degree.
