“A” student kicked out by college because he was homeschooled...

Jacob Berry, a 22-year-old homeschool graduate from Morgantown, West Virginia, recently encountered a sudden jolt in his career plans.

Homeschooled by his father, Dr. Nathan Berry, and his mother, Mrs. Cynthia Berry, who holds a lifetime teacher’s license in Missouri, Jacob graduated from high school in 2012. Upon graduation, Jacob worked in retail and construction before deciding that information technology was the career for him. He applied to and was accepted at West Virginia’s Bridgeport Junior College this past fall.

It was the perfect choice for him: he could continue working and take classes.

“Bridgeport is a great junior college,” Jacob said. “The schedules are amazing and the teachers really helpful. I definitely enjoyed the atmosphere there.”

During the application process the family met with admissions staff and informed them that Jacob had been homeschooled. Jacob’s enrollment agreement, signed by the college president, Ms. Sharron Stephens, even acknowledged his homeschooling background. Full story...
