How to fill the homeschool section on a job application?

I've been homeschooled throughout high school, and I'm applying for a part-time job. I'm unsure how to fill out the education section where it asks about my high school. Should I just write ‘homeschooled’? Any tips appreciated!

Indeed, you can certainly put "homeschooled" in the section where it asks about your high school. This is a common practice and employers understand that not all students attend a traditional school.

However, make sure you're being as descriptive and detailed as possible. For example, if your homeschooling was conducted under the auspices of an accredited homeschooling program, be sure to mention that. Similarly, you could write the curriculum and subjects studied as well.

Remember that employers are often interested in the skills and experiences you've gained, rather than where you learned them. Hence, if there is a section where you can discuss particular abilities or coursework relevant to the job you are applying for, ensure you fill that out in depth.

For example, if you've taken courses that align with the role you're applying to, or have done relevant projects or had experiences that relate to the role, it's worth mentioning them. This will show that, despite having a homeschooling background, you still hold skills necessary for the job.

Finally, if you've taken standardized tests like the SAT or ACT, you can also include your scores in this section. This can demonstrate your academic abilities to prospective employers, especially if the scores are strong.

Remember to present your homeschooling experience in a way that highlights its strengths, such as your ability to work independently, time management skills, or the special subjects you had the opportunity to study.
