Generally they are like any other school and you just apply.  There are some that will allow you to attend classes without enrolling, but you will have to talk to the directors and administrators of the school.

Most colleges are attached to Universities.\n\nLook up Universities on Internet and see if they have the interest in the proposal.\n\nMost institutions are private independent from government but you may want blessing of a board of education or professional society.

if it is a public school, it is OK, but a private school is better

It depends on the quality of the high school.  There are bad public schools and bad private schools, and the opposite is true.  They universities understand there are different high school qualities.

Have you tried approaching the individual private school to see if they have any financial asisstance programs or help for families? Most do have programs out there to help with diversity among their student population.

It may be the reason, it may not be.  If they are a full school, they are in the position of picking and choosing who they want to admit.  If it is a private school with no federal or state support, I believe they can hold her out.  Would it hurt to ask them, calmly why she hasn't been approved.

If someone wanted to apply to an Ivy League school, or any college, they have to choose on the SAT which schools to send their answers to. The College Board automatically sends the answers to those schools then.

Colleges care more about your academic achievements, rather than where you go to high school. After all, aren't all high schools, from the public ones to the parochial ones, suppose to be accredited by a qualified educational agency ?

That depends on the school you are attending and the school you are looking to attend - you should contact those at your school and your attended school if such is possible.  Colleges make their own rules and there are no Universal Codes between schools of high education (although there are sometimes guidelines - they are not often adhered to depending on the institution) as to handle a situation that you are discussing here.\n\nGood Luck!!!

No. Private schools often offer more opportunities, but not necessarily better people. For example, the top schools are more likely to accept someone from a private school than a public school, but that doesn't mean they are actually better students.\n\nAlso you have to consider the backgrounds of the people. A very small minority of kids in private school come from broken homes/poverty, while larger numbers go to public schools. Some things like this are difficult to overcome in any educational setting.\n\nI feel that, in the end, the important thing is to study hard and get support both at school and at home for the child's individual needs and skills.

I went to private school all my life, and once I hit the "real world" and started making friends who went to public schools it truly amazed me how much they didn't learn.  If I had to hire a high school kid for anything, I'd take a C-student from a private school over an A-student at a public school, unless the public school is exceptionally well-known for academics.

Private schools have more funding than public schools to give for scholarships and financial aid.

Not only are homeschooled students as capable of getting into an Ivy League school as a public schooled student, they are perhaps more apt to get into a Ivy League School as opposed to public school student. \n         A friend of mine who is a college recruiter and admissions coordinator put it this way. "If I had the opportunity to enroll a student who has been homeschooled v. a public school student, I take the homeschooled student." "Why" I exclaimed "Because a homeschooled student reads 2-3 grade levels above his/her chronological age; they have read the harder materialsthat a private university is going to DEMAND. Most have one if not two foreign languages under their belt, they have been active in their community, and they have their head scewed on straight with a great support system @ home - it's a slam dunk win-win situation for school and student." was his reply.\n    Having tutored home school students for many years and seeing some of them going onto Ivy League or near Ivy League universities and lead their classes, I can say without reservation that homeschoolers excell in the environment of the Ivy League university in a way that a public school student are not encouraged to by the public school system.

Find a private school that meets your needs.  Send the children there.  If they are "not the norm," maybe they shouldn't be in the same school with common folks.

No.\n\nYou don't need one to get in to many universities and colleges, via things like 'mature' or 'special' student programs; scholarships and bursaries are available to them with little or no consideration of high school anything, so...
