Mama Lynx Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Does having a diploma from Clonlara or NARHS make the admissions process any easier? Or does it not matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda in NM Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 While my son is not interested in a service academy, he is interested in playing D1 hockey (and he has a shot at it). We've been enrolled in Clonlara now for four years (he'll be a sophomore next year)--it's just easier to have accedited NCAA courses from an accredited school. I can't speak for NARHS--I know they had some issue with NCAA approval last year, but I don't know the resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Great White North Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 According to their website, NARHS is recognized by the NCAA. http://www.narhs.org/node/view/3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate in FL Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 We have been with NARS for a couple of years and spoken with the NCAA within the last year and they will not accept a NARS diploma. I had no problem with NARS but my kids want to participate in sports so I am jumping through NCAA hoops. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttman Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I wonder how Tim Tebow did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda in NM Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Have you seen that homeschool athletics magazine? They'd probably have the answer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-FL Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I wonder how Tim Tebow did it? Honestly, I doubt they had ANY trouble! He was a top hs recruit, Parade All-American, etc. The NCAA & FHSAA rules are pretty easy to follow & the family had been serious about his abilities from 9th grade on. He & his mom moved into an apt. in another county so he could play for a particular team 10-12th grades. http://www.tebowzone.com/about/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLisa Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Consider doing a sports camp to get a feel for the places. And starting at Christmas of the junior year, start applying for summer seminars at all of them. So, Margaret, are there sports camps that are different from the summer seminars? Hmmm. Does a student attend sports camp before the senior year? Thanks for the info! Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asta Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Interesting link. I would have thought Kolbe would be on it, as it has a relatively uncommon Catholic accreditation, but it's not. Perhaps it is OK because it also has a brick and mortar school. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kate in seattle Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 my son was received an appointment at the Air Force Academy with a mommy transcript and 2 years of community college classes. We did not have to worry about NCAA accreditation however. He did do sports and earn varsity letters but we knew he would never play at the college level.

I would really prefer to do a mommy transcript. However, I don't want my preference for that to hold my sons back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLisa Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thanks Margaret! This is the first I've heard of their sports camps. I really appreciate the information. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
