A Free Training for Christian Parents of High School Students

What Schools Aren’t Teaching: How to Prepare Your Teen for Real Life

APRIL 23 @ 7pm ET | Online Event

What if the system preparing your teen for adulthood… isn’t actually preparing them at all?

If you’re the parent of a 9th–12th grader and you’re beginning to wonder if traditional schooling – even your homeschool approach – is really preparing your teen for real life, this free training is for you.

We’ll take an honest look at what’s missing from most education models and give you a practical roadmap for raising a teen who’s actually ready for the world ahead – not just more school.

You’ll hear directly from Unbound’s team (and possibly Unbound student parents themselves) about how Equip, Explore, and Ascend are helping teens develop the skills, mindset, and confidence they need to navigate work, life, and calling with clarity and purpose.

“I’m glad that my son is in the program. I can tell it is a positive experience and I love the topics and reading that I know are helping him think deeper. Happy to see his idea and energy for his project. I doubt this would have happened otherwise.”

What You’ll Learn in This Free Training

The Real-World Readiness Gap

What happens when students get straight A’s but can’t manage their time, set meaningful goals, or make adult-level decisions? We’ll break down the gap between academic performance and real-world capability – and show you how to close it.

The Power of Marketable Skills

Getting into college isn’t the goal for most families – it’s making sure their teen can actually succeed after high school. Discover how Unbound focuses on practical, marketable skills like communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving to prepare students for what’s next.

What Parents Are Really Thinking

We’ll unpack new research showing that most families value purpose, skills, and independence – not just a college admissions letter. You’re not alone in your doubts about the current system, and there’s a better path forward.

How Faith and Purpose Stay Central

Education shouldn’t come at the cost of faith. Learn how Unbound’s approach integrates personal responsibility, community, and Christian worldview into every step of the journey.

Jonathan Brush, CEO of Unbound

Jonathan is the President and CEO of Unbound, co-host of the Be Unbound Podcast, a homeschool graduate, and a homeschool dad of six. He worked for nine years as a Director of Admissions for a private, liberal arts college, and then spent over ten years working in non-traditional higher education. He now gets to work with the world’s best team and the most amazing student body in the history of the world (which is just as awesome as it sounds), and field questions about Rule 4 violations (ask an Unbound student to explain).

Fast Facts

Let’s be honest about what’s happening in education today: traditional high school is training young adults to excel at things that barely matter in the real world.

During this eye-opening training, I’ll break down why worksheets and standardized tests won’t prepare your teen for what’s coming.

You’ll discover why most “good Christian kids” struggle when facing real independence, and exactly how our EQUIP program’s radical approach transforms uncertain teens into confident, faith-driven leaders through accountability,
mentorship, and student-led projects.

This is not theory or wishful thinking. This is a battle-tested system that’s already transforming hundreds of Christian families.
