[quote=Anonymous]Update: Linder is opening a combined middle and high school this fall.  Their website updated last night and there's an Open House on May 8 from 5-7pm.

Accreditation must not matter if home schooled kids get into college all the time.  I googled it and it doesn't seem to be a barrier.  
Also seems like accreditation takes 3-5 years so it's completely normal for a school not to have it and that Virginia doesn't require any private school to be accredited.

What matters more to colleges is:

* A strong academic record (transcripts showing rigor and achievement)
* Standardized test scores (if required)
* Letters of recommendation
* A demonstrated passion for learning or extracurricular involvement
* A clear, well-documented curriculum (which Linder will provide)

The video on YouTube about the new high school says Linder (I assume Kristin Linder herself) has 16 years experience getting kids into college and the new high school aims to create unique transcripts in an area where everyone around here looks the same.

I'll go to the Open House and report back.  I feel like Linder is our best shot at college.  [/quote]
