Why I Hid My Homeschool Experience In College

For years, Dr. Jonah Stewart kept his homeschool experience hidden—even after using it as a compelling part of his college applications. In this clip, Jonah talks about the assumptions and stereotypes surrounding homeschoolers, why he wanted to be judged on his own merits, and how he ended up separating his “homeschool” identity from the person he presented to classmates and professors. It’s a fascinating look at the complicated ways homeschool alumni can relate to their past once they enter adulthood.

Watch the full episode of Ex-Homeschoolers Club with Dr. Jonah Stewart for the complete story of his homeschool journey, transition to public school, college experience, and work in education research.
