Homeschool Dual Enrollment in Idaho
Idaho homeschoolers take college courses in high school by applying directly to an Idaho college as dual credit students and paying the college's dual credit tuition. The state's Advanced Opportunities money does not cover a family teaching at home.
How dual credit works for homeschoolers
Advanced Opportunities pays up to $2,500 toward dual credit courses and exams. Idaho Code 33-4603 opens it to nonpublic students only when they attend an Idaho private school accredited by a body the State Board of Education recognizes, so a homeschooled student is not eligible.
Each Idaho college sets its own admission rules for dual credit students. The course earns college credit, and your homeschool can count it toward the graduation plan you set.
The Department of Education notes that homeschoolers face additional entry requirements when they later apply to college.
