Homeschool Students
Homeschool students may participate in the activities program provided all regular SCA students have first had opportunity to participate. They must adhere to all admissions requirements including agreement with the Statement of Faith, standards of conduct, and attire. They are responsible for all fees as determined by teachers or program sponsors and approved by the administration. They must provide proof of liability insurance.
Homeschool students’ participation is only available on a year-to-year basis and may be terminated at any time.

Athletics:
Homeschool athletes are eligible to tryout for teams where there are no cuts. If, however, the homeschool athlete plays on an SCA team for which there are no cuts and in future years the school begins the practice of making cuts, the homeschool athlete is eligible to try out for that sport. They are responsible for the one-time building fee, individual sport fee, and tuition at the rate of one-half the cost of one class at the first in family high school rate. If a student participates in more than one sport or activity the tuition assessed is the full cost of one class at the first-in-family high school rate.

Field Trips:
Students may participate in school field trips only with administrative approval. They must pay for the cost of the trip and any associated fees. Procedures are found in the handbooks of each school.

Courses:
Provided there are seats available and all course prerequisites have been met, a student may take a maximum of two courses in grades 7-12 or one special class offered in the elementary school. Students are responsible for all fees including the one-time building fee, any associated class fees, and tuition commensurate with the portion of the school day they are in attendance. Students are also responsible to complete the same assignments and participate in the same course activities as the regular full-time students.
