Homeschool Family College Counseling
The needs of homeschool families are unique. On our talented staff, we have a homeschool specialist who works exclusively with homeschool families during the middle and high school years to assist them with curriculum choices, transcript formats, resume building, making college lists, and completing other required homeschool documentation such as the homeschool profile, the counselor letter of recommendation, book lists, and the homeschool philosophy overview.
Melinda Brown, a former homeschool mother herself, is an expert in guiding homeschool families through the process of successfully applying to college and navigating the road toward college. She has received amazing results with past students. Here are a few words of praise from families who have used her services:
"My family is super grateful for our College Guru, Melinda Brown. As our daughter Mikayla’s senior year of high school approached, I did not feel confident about our homeschool documentation. I had previously worked on these but needed an experienced eye to keep me on track. Melinda’s counsel was a Godsend to our process! She provided systematic, objective and thorough assessments of our homeschool transcripts, school profile, and curriculum documents. She reviewed and helped me finalize an amazing counselor letter of recommendation. She was prompt and professional with her guidance. Just as importantly, she was so very compassionate. Being a homeschool educator herself, Melinda affirmed my journey and helped me have the confidence to paint a strong, accurate and compelling picture of our homeschool and high school senior. She was the calm in the middle of my “college application storm”!
We are so very excited to share that Mikayla received multiple offers of admission and scholarship awards from universities and has accepted admission to her number one dream school, Rice University in Houston, TX.
I totally recommend Melinda’s services and expertise to any and every family!!!"

"Melinda helped my son organize and prioritize the items that needed to be completed for his college applications in a timely manner. She put him in the driver’s seat and guided him to write purposeful essays; she led him through the writing process with ease and clarity. I feel certain her method of helping him tell a story that made an memorable impression affected the fact that he was accepted at all three schools he applied to. She also spent time discussing with him which teachers he should ask for letters of recommendation so he could present a well rounded picture of himself with emphasis on what universities are looking for today. Additionally, Melinda provided me with starting points for the school profile, counselor letter, and worked with me to edit these as well as the transcript into polished pieces. The time and money spent working with Melinda were effective and efficient. I would definitely use her again!"
