Each homeschool student has different goals and priorities. We would like you to submit: (1) a brief description of your goals for homeschooling; (2) a syllabus or detailed description of the courses you have taken, including books or articles used; and (3) a general outline of how your education has been structured, i.e., daily study patterns, experiential learning opportunities, and relevant travel.

In general we expect the following to be structured into your education:

• 4 years of English
• 3 or more years of mathematics (minimum requirement is through algebra II/trigonometry)
• 3 or more years of natural science
• 3 or more years of social science
• 2 or more years of foreign language(s) (recommended, but not required)

These can be through self-guided study, distance learning programs, courses through a local high school, or college courses. We do not require a GED.

As a homeschool student, the interview is a conversation about your preparation for college and your goals, as well as what you value in an education. We see the interview as an opportunity to “lift yourself off the page” and get beyond just the statistics and test scores.

We require two letters of recommendation. At least one of your recommendations should be from someone unrelated to you and may include someone who has supervised you in community service, a coach, or extra-curricular activity. Recommendations should address your academic potential and contributions to the community.
