Utilizing skype to learn a foreign language
I’m researching how I can use skype to my advantage in our home studies. How wonderful to stay in our own home and receive classes instead of driving everyone around to various activities thereby wasting time and gasoline.
Juilliard’s position on homeschool applicants
I”m always looking into different environments, places, and things to expose my kids to. I was looking over Juilliard’s website thinking I might take them on a tour of the school. Ran across their response to homeschoolers applying..
Are admissions requirements different for home-schooled students?
“The Juilliard School recognizes home schooling as a viable educational alternative; however, there are important and explicit regulations governing acceptable documentation. Home-schooled applicants are expected to complete the Home Schooling Information Form on the online application. This information should include the submission of a full outline of the curriculum by subject, including textbooks for each course; assessment procedures and grades; and evidence of official recognition by the school district and/or state department of education. Juilliard reserves the right to rescind admission to any applicant whose file documentation is deemed insufficient and/or incomplete”
