College Alternatives: Alert Academy (Podcast 453)
Friday Sep 22, 2023
Friday Sep 22, 2023
We have all been repeatedly told that the traditional college setting is the only path to success but the truth is that it is all but obsolete. Only one of our kids went the college route, but all have been successful with or without college. I have a series of podcast episodes where I interviewed each of our grown kids who shared their journey after high school. (I’ll leave links below.)
This year, I’ve spoken at 9 homeschool conferences and I’ve noticed more and more alternatives being offered for high school graduates so I decided to start a series of episodes I will share periodically called, "College Alternatives"!
My guest today is Colonel Jesse Boulden from Alert Academy!
Resources shared in today’s episode:
Unhurried Grace for a Mom’s Heart
Where Our Homeschool Kids Are Now:
After this episode, I got clarification on whether there is any association with Bill Gothard. Here is what Alert Academy told me:
- We were started by Ron Fuhrman, who was on staff with IBLP at the time ALERT was started
- We became a separate 501(c)(3) organization in the early 2000s
- We still rent our campus from IBLP
- We do not use any IBLP materials in any phase of our training, and have not for years
- If anyone has any questions about our history or current relationship with IBLP, they can email us at alert@alertacademy.com and we'd be more than happy to talk to them
