Prom Behavior Code
The Maryland Homeschool Prom, sponsored by Christiana Homeschool Academy, was founded in 2009 by homeschooling parents to give their high school students a safe haven in which to interact, dance, socialize and have fun with other homeschoolers. Homeschooled attendees are not required to bring partners but are welcome to bring a guest of the opposite sex, preferably also a homeschooler, if they wish. Since Christiana Homeschool Academy sponsors this event, the event and their organizers agree with and follow Christiana Homeschool Academy's Statement of Faith.
