Jennifer Cook-DeRosa

Founder and Executive Director of HS4CC

With a 20-year tenure in community college administration, teaching, and board membership, I am frequently sourced by college and university leadership seeking insights about homeschooling and outsourced college credit. My passion is engaging with parents across the nation, whether it's in one of my 60 Facebook groups, private consulting sessions, or on the stage at conventions and seminars. My professional work pales in comparison to the tremendous joy I received as a homeschooling mom to four boys. This past May, I felt the bittersweet pride of a job well done when my last son graduated from my homeschool and his college simultaneously. My superpower as a consultant is getting the full story, filtering out the noise, and then helping you zero in on exactly HOW to accomplish the goals that are important to you. This normally takes just 1 session.

Reviews from Professional Education Clients

“Jennifer understands the highly complex and ambiguous systems that connect homeschool learners and families to college and university learning opportunities throughout our nation. She is an exceptional thinker and collaborator. She provided a great deal of insight, advice and counsel to our staff as a way to make our institution more attractive to homeschool families.”

College Provost, Franklin University

Dr. Christopher Washington

“Jennifer is that rare combination of someone who is highly knowledgeable about complex issues, yet able to simply explain those issues to people who are new to them. Her breadth of understanding about homeschooling and non-traditional college credit is formidable, and she should be considered one of the top experts in these areas. Highly recommended.”

“I have been a Homeschooling Dad for 20 years. In addition, I work in Higher Education. I’m an Associate Professor and serve as a Peer Reviewer for the Higher Learning Commission and the American Council on Education. These qualifications put me in a position as an evaluator of Higher Education. In my professional opinion, Jennifer Cook DeRosa is THE foremost authority on Homeschooling for College Credit in the United States. ”

“My 17-year-old graduates brick-and-mortar high school this week with 42 college credits. I would never have had the courage, or knowledge, to challenge the local school district’s normal path through high school. All of your detailed information and advice made it possible. Thank you so much!”

Public school parent

“The consultation was wonderful. I almost did not schedule it because I felt maybe we should be more organized or decisive first; however, it was the right moment! You offered valuable questions, reframing, and options to further the conversation and decision-making process. ”
