Porridge Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Would anyone be willing to share a homeschool philosophy that they used for a DCs application? My DD needs me to write a 1-2 paragraph homeschool philosophy that includes why we choose homeschool. I’m not sure what else is most important to include in such a small amount of space.

cintinative Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Usually this is in the school profile. Do you have that by chance? Edited November 26, 2023 by cintinative 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't written a school profile before. I think I'm worried I'll come across sounding too idealistic, where they (the powers that be) may be looking for something more cut and dried? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daijobu Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 @lewelma You mentioned your son's math colleague from Wellington with whom he studied. Was this person also homeschooled? Did he stay local for college and post-college or did he also leave NZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a full ride scholarship to Duke -- Robertson Scholars Leadership Program. He was an amazing kid when I knew him. This scholarship was in leadership, not math. The IMO stuff he did was really just a side gig for him. lol Edited October 19, 2023 by lewelma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
