Dear Applicant,
Our fall application period is from Monday, February
2 to Monday, March 16. We look forward to
hearing from you. Answers to most or all of your
questions can be found on this page, the application
itself and especially in “HSC FAQ’s” found in the
sidebar. Please read each of these before applying.
Home schooling for High School?
Each year, many people contact us who are thinking
of home schooling a high school student for the first
time. We offer a helpful document titled “High School
at Home” in the “Home School Support” section in our
website.
Application Time Frame
This application period from 2/2 – 3/16 is the
only one we guarantee holding for the ’15-’16
school year. We occasionally hold an additional
application period in the summer and/or fall. We will
let you know by the end of March if your family is
accepted.
We will not review your application unless you attend
an open house. This year, our open house dates are
Mondays 2/23 and 3/9 from 10 a.m. to noon at
Knox Church in Ann Arbor. (More information on
open houses and how to R.S.V.P. is below!)
Class offerings for Fall 2015
Fall classes are posted on our website a few weeks
prior to sign up. To get an idea of possible offerings
for the Fall, you can talk to a program planner at an
open house. Meanwhile, our Sequence Subjects
document explains how we offer courses in literature,
history, and science on a regular cycle and lists other
classes we offer yearly.
Application Processing
HSC gives priority for acceptance to families with
older students, and we evaluate all applications using
a detailed priority system that takes many factors into
consideration.
We want to be up front. We don’t usually accept
more than one or two families per year with no
middle or high school students. If you have a younger
family, you will certainly want to explore other
options. Click on Home School Support for contact
information on similar groups in the area.
If you decide you would like to start a co-op yourself,
we would be happy to give you information and a
jump-start on how to do it.
HSC Co-op Commitment
Please read our approach to co-op service by clicking
“Your Co-op Service”. On the application indicate your
job preferences. Space is quite limited and we are
looking for members who can contribute to specific
needs. So, please fill this section in carefully and
completely.
Although we have many jobs at HSC, all members are
expected to be willing to teach at some point in their
HSC ‘career.’ With more than a hundred course
offerings, we need all willing hands on deck!
Besides the two co-op jobs, we expect all members to
attend members’ meetings (usually three per year)
and help with a service requirement twice a year.
Money
Application fees are non-refundable once you have
accepted our offer of membership. Class fees vary
depending on what you sign up for. To get a feel for
what it might cost, go to the current schedule and
create a mock lineup of classes; then, add up the
costs.
Open Houses
As noted above, attending an open house is required.
Reserve a spot by filling out and attaching Open
House RSVP (Word) or Open House RSPV (pdf – scan
and return) emailing it to [email protected]. If
you have trouble with the attachment, type the
information into an email and be sure to type
“Open House RSVP” in the subject line.
On the day of your open house, meet in the main
lobby of Knox Presbyterian Church, 2065 South
Wagner Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48103 at 10 a.m. (9:30
if you have a student visiting a second hour class)
and look for “Open House” signs. Park upstairs; click
here for directions.
Once here, you’ll get a tour and a presentation.
Please plan to attend for the whole two hours.
This is an important time for us to meet you and will
give you a better feel for the program.
The open house is geared toward adults. However,
we welcome your middle and high school
students as well with an opportunity to visit classes
while you meet with our team. Look at the class
schedule on our home page and let us know 5 days in
advance on your R.S.V.P.
Please do not bring elementary and preelementary students to the open house.
The Application!
Below you will find our HSC application to download.
Applications are due IN PERSON at the time of an
open house. Bring your application, a check for
$30 per child (refunded if not accepted), and a
family photo to the Information Center found
in the Knox lobby. We will want to review it with
you (which could save you a trip later!).
Additionally, some applicants decide to revise or add
more to their application after attending an open
house, specifically after hearing our
presentation. The Information Center will receive
applications from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on 2/23, 3/9 and
3/16.
