My daughter Lydia was home schooled up through 9th grade, then transferred to a public school where she took primarily honors and AP courses for 10th and 11th. She was also president of the art club and a member of the drama set crew. (See Making the Transition into Public High School or College.) She wanted to dual enroll at Seminole State for her senior year to take advanced math, science, and more art. She couldn't dual enroll full-time while enrolled in the public school, so she decided to re-enroll in the private home school program she had been in before. Next week, she will be our fifth graduate from The Regent Academy.
One of the great perks about dual enrolling is the opportunity to take art classes from professional college level instructors. Lydia really liked her teachers there, and I guess they liked her too since two of her pieces were selected to be included in SSC Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition and the pencil sketch won a prize. She is trying to decide whether to go to art school after she gets her AA, or whether to major in science. Either way, I'm so proud of Lydia and her artistic accomplishments! She has three more large ceramic pieces sitting in our dining room now, and I'll try to photograph them soon.
