Homeschool Opportunities
Homeschool Opportunities
WNC is proud to support a vibrant homeschool community with dual credit opportunities
that enable students to align their high school curriculum with college courses, on
a pathway to earning an associate degree at the same time that they complete high
school.
Many families are reconsidering their childs high school education during this time, and WNC is pleased to provide an alternative pathway to academic excellence.
Our Carson City campus has an active student group, self-named the Nerd Herd.
Club members meet bi-weekly to plan events, hang out as friends, and make connections on campus. Rebecca Bevans is a well-liked professor of Psychology at WNC, and serves as this groups advisor. She is dedicated to helping our homeschool students thrive.
