College Prep Night Flyer


Hello Homeschool Families with Teenagers!

Family Academy of Christian Education (FACE) has organized the second College

Preparation Night on November 7, 2011.

If you have any teenagers we encourage you to come. Now is the time to start gathering information and preparing. We also encourage your teenagers to come to learn first hand what they will need to prepare for to attend college.

Last year over 160 people attended the event. Please plan to attend so we can repeat this event, with the colleges, every two years. Feel free to invite other homeschool families.

Four colleges are attending:
 Colorado School of Mines, Red Rocks Community
College, Colorado Christian University, and Colorado State University.
 The colleges will all be speaking at the event and setting up booths to answer your questions and
provide you with printed information.

HSLDA and FACE will also provide several handouts of information to assist your
preparation and search for colleges.

The college speakers have been invited to speak on:

Core Course requirements for their institution

Electives Course requirements and suggestions for their
institution
