Home School Partnership

We offer classes as a supplement to what is offered at home. Students may take up to 3 classes individually. Home school students are welcome to enroll for any “elective” classes such as music, art, P.E., etc.  Interested homeschoolers must apply via the new student application.  After admission, the student will meet with the Academic Advisor to decide what courses they are interested in taking at TCA.  Depending on the course, certain admissions testing requirements or specific course pre-requisites may apply prior to registration.

Priority scheduling is given to full-time students, and seat availability will determine what courses are available to students in the Home School Partnership Program. For a list of all class offerings, go to http://www.tca-pa.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/2742.pdf.

Home school students can enroll in 1-3 classes (3 maximum)

• TCA reserves the right to determine eligibility for a class based on the age of a student
• Admission into some classes may be based on admission testing
• TCA reserves the right to deny participation in any course based on course enrollment

Our annual play or musical are some of the most popular activities of the year. With positions for actors, actresses, stagehands, set design, costuming, videography, photography, technical crew, and others, there is plenty of opportunity for students who want to participate. In addition, we have photography, art, choir, and yearbook which are available to home school students (some of these opportunities will be indicative of a successful tryout).
