Dr. Krista Mallo, Trinity Faculty, Dual Enrollment/Homeschool Mom

I am not only a professor at Trinity College of Florida but also the owner of a private umbrella school and educational consultant for Florida homeschooling families. I have been homeschooling my five children since 2012.

We Began Homeschool When He Was in Third Grade

My oldest son began homeschooling when he was in third grade. He was only nine years old, but we already knew by that time that he was very different from other kids his age. He learned new things very quickly, asked questions that were years beyond his expected understanding, and from an early age he understood spiritual truths that many adults would struggle with.

Finding Curriculum and Online Classes

Finding curriculum and online classes to keep him engaged and progressing at his own ability level was truly a challenge in the early days of homeschooling for us.

Why Dual Enrollment at a Bible College?

Fast forward to his thirteenth birthday: he asked to try taking some college classes. Even though our local state college would have been free, I did not feel comfortable sending him to study alongside adults in a secular environment. For us, dual enrollment at Trinity College of Florida was an obvious choice.

The Big Advantage of a Small Campus

The small campus, personal attention from faculty and staff, and Christ-centered academics make this school ideal for homeschool/ high school dual enrollment. As a student at Trinity, he developed strong friendships, found lifelong mentors, and began to understand the ways that God created him to serve the Kingdom for His glory.

Where Will He Transfer To?

One concern we had as my son drew close to the completion of his Associate of Arts degree was what the experience of transferring to a university would be like. He recently graduated from Trinity College of Florida and immediately transferred to a regionally accredited university. We had no problems at all transferring his credits from Trinity to the university of his choice.

Trinity College of Florida is accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education Commission on Accreditation (5850 T. G. Lee Blvd., Ste. 130, Orlando, FL 32822, 407.207.0808) to grant certificates and degrees at the Associate and Baccalaureate levels.
