Requirements for admission to high school in the Academy of Home Education

• Be a home-educated student
• Be at least 12 years old and have completed an elementary program of study through the eighth grade
• Be prepared to initiate academic work at the ninth-grade level

• Use BJU Press curriculum in all academic areas in which the materials are available (parents obtain their own curricular materials)
• Fulfill the standardized acheivement testing requirements¹

¹High school applicants (including those coming from grade eight within the program) must obtain a standard age score of at least 90 on a mental abilities test* and obtain overall standardized achievement test* scores that indicate readiness for ninth-grade work. If any stanine score in any academic area is below 5 on the achievement test, the student may be admitted on a conditional basis pending improvement in that area. This decision will be made upon the recommendation of our home school consultants.

*Tests for high school admission must be administered by an approved non-relative proctor.
