Eligibility

How Participation Works

K–8th

Elementary & Middle School

Homeschool students in elementary and middle school do not have to take a class to participate, because those teams are not affiliated with any organization. Students who would like to take a class at our school are welcome to.
See elementary and middle school classes →
9th–12th

High School

Our high school teams compete under the IHSA umbrella, so any homeschool student must take at least one class at the school they are joining. This is an IHSA rule; we do not have a say in it.
