2010 Acceptanced Homeschooled Students

<p>Any homeschooled students accepted to boarding schools for the upcoming school year? If so to where and what grade?</p>

<p>My son is going to Exeter, 9th grade. He’s been homeschooled since he was 5 though he takes a couple classes at the ps now. </p>

<p>I’ve been curious myself to know how many homeschoolers choose boarding school–especially people who chose to homeschool from the beginning, rather than pull a child for a few years because the school situation was so bad (though those stories are interesting too :slight_smile: ).</p>

<p>I am aware of several students at different and very excellent boarding schools. Where you parents find the time is beyond me but congratulations!</p>

<p>There were only 2 homeschooled students that were accepted to Andover (says their website)</p>

<p>My d was home schooled 6th-8th grade. Public school for 9th grade, (she wanted “regular school” and and hates it) now bs for 10th.</p>

<p>My daughter is a current lower at Exeter, was homeschooled K-8. I thought boarding school was a good fit because she is still living with her teachers, just like she always has :)</p>

<p>We agree with photoOp. BS is the closest thing to homeschool that we could think of…when school isn’t something outside of who you are. Just like when my kids were taught at home, academics and everything else are integrated and the boundaries between “school work” and just being a thinking, curious person are blurred.</p>

<p>If you ask my daughter, she will tell you that she is still homeschooled, she just isn’t home as much. our district is not one that will allow homeschooled kids to take just a few classes. It’s all or nothing.</p>

<p>I am an ignorant fool. I always had a low opinion of home-schooled students, thinking that parents cannot be adequate teachers without an official title, it seems that they are actually beyond public school students by light years. During a revisit to one of the HADES schools, I met a homeschooled freshman who had finished Calculus BC early and had moved on to Statistics. WOW.</p>
