That's awesome!! I love the portfolio idea. Here in Georgia kids can start attending college classes for free once they are in high school, but most colleges will not take students under 16 years of age. I have a feeling that my son will go into the trades, so it would be an awesome opportunity for him to get started earlier, though I don't want to pressure him too much, either.

Trade school is a wonderful idea too! My 14 yr old is looking at welding as an enrichment to his other Ag classes, but he has to be 18 because of insurance purposes. So that's a downer because he's more mature and knowledgable than a lot of the 18 yr olds out there Lol. So he's thinking maybe culinary arts at 16 since he could then work absolutely anywhere in the world (everybody has to eat right?!). I think I will try to get his FAFSA going this year and see what happens. Maybe the school will let him do culinary arts at 15 (they often do for the right. Students) . Looking forward to sharing more with our home school families here🌻

welding & culinary are both great ideas. My husband works in the manufacturing industry and the biggest competency gap he sees is the ability to troubleshoot and repair electronic components, as automation is expanding in every industry. Not sure if your son is interested in electronics but he might consider adding that to his skill set!
