<p>My D chose to cyberschool for soph and jr years due to the demands of the ballet program (approx 30 hrs/week). She lived away from home during this time. So this was not homeschooling, but independent schooling. I picked courses from a variety of "vendors", including AP and university level, but under the umbrella of Indiana U HS (5 courses minimum required from them, but there are university level that can fill requirements). She is coming home next year and will (we hope) get accepted to the local Ivy for their HS program and take a couple of courses there, but continue online schooling for others. She has no desire to go back to the local HS.
How to make this attractive to potential colleges? Not aiming for HYPS- interested in McGill, Barnard.</p>
<p>Since you already know what schools your daughter is interested in, the simplest thing to do is to speak to their admissions officials now. No need to guess what they want, just ask. Your daughter is obviously an accomplished dancer and an advanced student, and she can clearly handle college-level courses. Plus, she's self-motivated. I think colleges will be thrilled to admit a kid like your daughter. </p>
<p>When you create a transcript, include all of the coursework she's completed from all of the various vendors, grades, and copies of their official transcripts. Make sure you get recommendations from dance instructors and any other teachers with whom she has had contact.</p>

How are things working out? My S is an athlete traveling for many competitions & training camps. He will be a freshman next fall. We are considering Keystone. Do you have advice for us knowing what you now know?
Thanks!</p>
