Part Time Enrollment only applies for 7th to 12th grade, please click next!

Are you applying for part-time enrollment? Yes No

According to School Board Policy 8115-REG regarding non-public students, students in grades 7 through 12 who are approved for home instruction, (does not include Religious Exemption or Tutoring) may enroll on a part-time basis in certain high school credit courses. These students may participate in a maximum of two courses per school term. High school credit courses available to these students are as follows:

7th Graders — Algebra I and foreign language
8th Graders --- Algebra I, Geometry, foreign language, and Technology of Robotic Design
9th - 12th Graders --- Mathematics, science, English, history, social science, career and technical education, fine arts, foreign language, and health education or physical education courses

In order to apply for part-time enrollment, parents must submit a completed application to the principal of the school by August 1 for the first semester and December 1 for courses beginning in the second semester. Students must meet prerequisite requirements to be enrolled in a course by appropriate credits earned through an accredited program. There may be situations where schools will determine that students who have not earned credit in a course demonstrate the prerequisite skills necessary to take higher level courses. These determinations will be made using teacher recommendations as well as competency tests.

Students will be expected to attend the school that serves their area of residence. If a requested course is not being offered in the student’s base school, the parent may request special permission to attend another school.

Part-time students must participate in co-curricular activities that are required as a result of enrollment in certain courses (orchestra, band, chorus, drama, etc.). Part-time students may not participate in extra-curricular activities, such as those sponsored by the Virginia High School League (athletics, cheerleading, One Act Plays, etc.). Students will be granted part-time enrollment under the conditions that all Loudoun County Public School policies and regulations are followed and that transportation will be provided by the family.

Forms for partial enrollment may be obtained through the middle or high school that serves your area of residence or you may click the following link to download the form: Application for Part-Time Enrollment
