Belmont Abbey College in Charlotte is enthusiastic about homeschool graduates:
We recognize the extraordinary talents and achievements that home-educated students bring to our campus. We know for example that home-educated students are excelling academically, outperforming their public school peers by 30 - 37 percentile points across all subjects. We also know that home-educated students are involved in an average of 5.2 activities outside the class. We have a great number of success stories from our home-school students ... We look forward to enrolling more ...It probably doesn't hurt that college president Dr. William Thierfelder is a homeschooling father of ten.
Thirteen-year-old homeschooler is youngest member of Asheville jazz ensemble
Will Newman, a 13-year-old homeschooler, plays keyboard, violin, and guitar for a young Asheville band, Jazz the Ripper. "Marv D" at The Urban Music Scene gives a great review to the group, saying the five musicians, ages 17 to 13, "are beginning to make their mark on the jazz scene, and in a serious way":
For a group of young men still in high school, the rawness and freshness they bring to their own compositions is to be commended. ... [W]hatever they do, the musical possibilities are endless for them. Somehow all this talent must reach the masses.
