What if I am currently homeschooled?
IBCS supports the rights of parents to educate their children at home and will admit a homeschooled student based on an official transcript produced by a parent or homeschool agency. An official transcript includes courses taken, grades earned, a grade point average for each year, a cumulative grade point average, and a date of graduation, and an official signature validating the transcript. You may request a blank transcript form from IBCS and apply like any other student.
The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) is a nonprofit advocacy organization established to defend and advance the constitutional right of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children and to protect family freedoms.
