 College Admissions & Homeschooling What admissions officers look for, in a nutshell, are intellectual curiousity, an eagerness to learn, and the ability to excel in the college environment. This may be demonstrated if a parent has used a wide variety of curricula and methodology . If your student is college-bound, you'll want to ensure that they take a wide variety of college preparatory courses, have strong writing skills, have a strong mathematics background, and have strong SAT (Scholastic Aptitude, not Stanford Achievement) or ACT test scores and extracurricular activities (such as hospital volunteer, homeschool debate club, or band). You might also explore having your students take lab classes through co-ops or tutorials, or accelerated high school enrollment with your local college. Good Shepherd School students are chuirch-schooling, not "homeschooling" (according to Alabama law.) We work to establish and maintain relationships with college admissions offices and work with our faculty to maintain the high quality of our diploma. Good Shepherd Homeschool exclusively endorses Scholarship Consultant Services . Ms. Gullo has many years of experience helping home educated students score the best they can score on college entrance exams and helping students find the most scholarship money for which they are eligible. We recommend her highly. Her website is invaluable to the home educated high school student! Resources: Learn in Freedom's guide to selective colleges that have accepted homeschoolers.
