While your teen kills time in another semester of high school busywork, someone else’s is already earning a college degree.
Watching your child stack thousands of dollars in college debt when they could be building their future is a terrible feeling — that’s exactly why I wrote this short, practical guide — so other parents can use what worked for my family.


I’m Ben Highley
A licensed professional counselor and father of six.
For years I worked with youth and families in the juvenile court system before taking on roles as a school-based mental-health counselor and Christian academy teacher.
Through those two-plus decades of experience, I saw exactly how the system forces young adults into an unnecessary extended adolescence that saddles them with debt as they begin adult life.
So I found another path. My oldest son earned his associate’s degree at 17 and finished his bachelor’s by 20 — debt-free. My next two carry 4.2 GPAs and are already earning college credit before graduation.
Now I’ve condensed everything we learned into one short, no-fluff guide for parents who want their kids to start adult life with an advantage.

Three years later, after thousands of hours in classrooms, I expected a big leap. Instead, my score had only risen four points. That number hit me hard — all that time, and almost no real growth. It was my first clue that something was deeply off with the system. Still, I shrugged it off and walked away from high school for good.
Years later, when I became a parent, that memory wouldn’t leave me. I realized I didn’t want my kids to spend years trapped in the same slow-moving system that had failed to challenge me. Maybe you can relate when I say I wanted better for my kids — faster progress, deeper learning, and real preparation for life. That’s when I started piecing together a different way forward. The plan that grew from that conviction became Skipping School.

You don’t need privilege, a private school,
or a 4.0 GPA.
You just need the map the schools won’t show you.
For the cost of a pizza night, you’ll learn how to spot the hidden opportunities inside the education system—the ones that let motivated families move faster, save money, and give their kids a head start in real life.
