Host a College From Home Seminar

Host a College From Home seminar in your own community for those who want to learn more about Accelerated Distance Learning! Seminars are scheduled regularly around the country and feature many topics and workshops to tailor-fit the needs of your group. Seminars are scheduled on a first come, first served basis, so give us a call today!

As a seminar host, you'll be asked to locate a facility to hold the seminar and then assist in advertising the seminar locally. We will provide you with an e-flyer with seminar details that can be mailed or emailed to local churches, schools and homeschool groups. In order for us to justify the cost of our travel, we ask that 15 families be registered two weeks prior to your event.

We offer our seminars in two formats: Our all-day seminar is typically held on a Saturday from 9am-3pm or weekdays 3pm-9pm (with an hour lunch or dinner break). This is our most comprehensive seminar where we are able to go into the most depth regarding the different components of Distance Learning and Study Skills in four sessions. The second option is our half day format, which is a more abbreviated version and is typically 3 sessions done in an evening from 7-10pm.

For more information or to schedule a seminar, please contact us today!

1. Your College Degree, Faster, For Less & for Sure!
For many homeschooling families, answering the question of whether or not to attend traditional college is a difficult task.

Now there is an answer to this difficult question: Accelerated Distance Learning. In this session, attendees will discover a new cost-effective and time-saving way to earn a college degree. The major benefits of Accelerated Distance Learning will be explained, as well as the five methods for earning college credit from home.

4. Unlocking Your Dynamic Memory
All learning is founded on one key: the ability to remember. Unfortunately, most students are never taught how to memorize. Each school year, students spend countless hours studying, only to have the information seemingly disappear when they need it most. Unlocking Your Dynamic Memory teaches the memory skills which are the backbone of Accelerated Distance Learning.

In this interactive session, you will learn how to use memory tools such as the “peg” system to significantly increase your memory potential and how to use these tools in specific areas of academic study. In academics, work, or everyday life, the skills learned in Unlocking Your Dynamic Memory will prove to be an invaluable resource. Back to the top

 5. College: Are you Being Prepared for Leadership?
“The world has yet to see what God can do through one man fully committed to Him.” Success in academics does not necessarily equal success in life. In this fundamental session, attendees learn: the five essential qualities of every leader; the essential books vital to shaping a student’s worldview and perspective; the blessings that come by seeking-out wise Christians who can mentor and guide; and the importance of internships. Learn how to prepare for a life of influence and significant purpose for the glory of God. Back to the top

6.Doing Something Great
The world steps aside for an individual who is passionately living out a significant life purpose and mission. Focusing on God’s definition of true success, this functional session will assist students in gaining a vision and purpose for their life. It will cover some of the fundamental issues vital to understanding God’s will and will then help the student break their vision into bite -sized pieces so they can begin living out their God-given dreams with drive and enthusiasm.

7. Speed Reading: Is it possible to read faster with better comprehension?
