New Website Announcement – UniversityAdmissions.ca
I’m still putting the finishing touches on it, but please visit me over at UniversityAdmissions.ca for a Canada-wide admissions website!
UniversityAdmissions.ca is my new website for all things related to university admissions in Canada… with or without a high school diploma!
Ironically, it’s no longer homeschoolers who are most in need of my help when it comes to university admissions. It’s the students trapped by or within the system who don’t realize that there are other paths to university. It’s the kids who, for whatever reason, just weren’t meant for the system because the system isn’t meant for them. It’s the young adults who made certain choices that leave them in what they think is a disadvantaged educational position. It’s even the teachers like me who want to help students, not administer policy.
I think everyone can benefit from my university admission resources, but they might not think to look for help at a website devoted to homeschoolers. That’s where UniversityAdmissions.ca comes in. It’s my chance to take these messages of freedom and choice to a wider student audience. It’s my attempt to move beyond labels like “homeschooler” and let the general public know that anyone can create their own high school experience without closing the door to university. I hope to encourage not only homeschoolers who worry that they have to go into the system for high school, but also students who have always been traditionally-schooled who need or want something different now, but who don’t know that anything even exists outside of the system.
I hope you’ll join me in bringing this message of empowerment mainstream. The University Admissions.ca site is not specifically aimed at homeschoolers, but it strongly asserts that every path to university is an equally valid choice, and most importantly, reveals that going to a traditional high school and earning a diploma is a choice, as so few actually realize. It also allows me to broaden my scope to include general student concerns like issues of learning, motivation, and success that I didn’t feel was my mandate on my previous website. I think homeschoolers will find useful resources there, even though you’ll find that I less frequently refer to homeschoolers explicitly. After all, the point is that you don’t have to be a “homeschooler” to be in charge of your own education!
So please, visit me at UniversityAdmissions.ca and spread the word to everyone, both inside and outside of your homeschooling network!
