College at 15

November 19, 2020 by Tansey Louis

Last updated on March 7th, 2021 at 06:25 pm

Today we’re sharing the story of one homeschool family’s success in helping their sons, Moshe and Eleazar Allen get accepted into Penn State University at ages 17 and 15.

The parents, Craig and Denyse Allen have had a remarkable homeschool journey. I’ve had the chance to interview Mrs. Allen to get the details on how they did it and she was generous enough to share everything from daily school habits, curriculum used, reporting and administration etc. 

I will admit that sometimes, as a parent there can be doubts about whether I’m on the right track with my children. And I’m sure I’m not alone. 

Because of this, and the fact that the Allen’s are a step ahead of many of us in our children’s academics journey, I thought it would be a great idea to share their story with you.

This is the story of how they were willing to try something new and uncommon with their family and achieve uncommon results.

(Pardon the small audio issues, but I promise it won’t get in the way of you taking in this useful information). : )
