Exciting news for the High School Symposium and College Fair!
CHEO High School Symposium Saturday, April 1Dear Ohio Home Educators, CHEO’s most important event of the year is just a month away! Year after year, parents who have attended the CHEO High School Symposium express 100% satisfaction and are grateful for the help in navigating the high school years. This event – hands down – is the most important service we provide for families planning for high school or are already in the midst of high school. I am writing to encourage parents with students in 7th through 12th grade to attend CHEO’s high school symposium on Saturday, April 1. We will have an experienced HSLDA high school consultant who will be sharing options for high school teaching tracks, how to create a transcript, and so much more. Cedarville University will be explaining College Credit Plus which is like a state scholarship that pays for college while in high school. And I am very excited that this year we will have a representative from Universal Technical Institute to explain career opportunities in the fields of STEM and trades. Also, this year we are adding an important career exploration opportunity for students in grades 10 – 12. CHEO will be assisting the US Army in the on-site administration of the ASVAB assessment. This tool, the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) measures potential academic and occupational success. It helps determine what types of jobs your student will be suited for based on individual strengths. Most students who take the ASVAB are NOT pursuing a career in the military. Rather, the vast majority of students wish to take advantage of this FREE assessment because it provides valuable information on career options and how to pursue training based on the student’s individual scores. CHEO is excited to provide this opportunity for home educators, but space for this assessment is limited. If you want more information OR you would like to reserve a place for your high school student, you will need to contact me directly. Please reach out by email to cheo@cheohome.org (subject line ASVAB) OR call my cell at 330-730-1255. When we go through the high school years, we don’t know what we don’t know! As parents, we are searching for the Lord to direct our steps and give us wisdom and discernment. The workshop presentations will provide excellent information to help you have a clear understanding of what to do in this season of your homeschool journey. It is literally the best Saturday you will spend all year! There is a small registration fee for the workshops to help us cover the cost of the facility and speakers. After the symposium, CHEO is providing a FREE on-site college fair with valuable access to colleges, universities, trade schools and more. Parents and students will be able to speak with informed representatives who will answer your questions and provide valuable information regarding their specific institution. Please help us spread the word to your friends and family who have students who would benefit from all of the opportunities available on April 1st! I look forward to seeing you there!
