**** Due to the continued restrictions on social gatherings and the need for social distancing the prom committee has made the decision to cancel the Central Va Homeschool Prom for 2021. We are saddened by the necessity of this decision, and are hopeful for Prom 2022 on April 16, 2022.

​Who We Are

Offering area homeschoolers of Lynchburg City, Campbell, Amherst, Appomattox, and Bedford the experience of a high school prom! We believe that proms are a rite of passage and all students should have the opportunity to attend one.  Some rules and guidelines have changed. They are outlined below - please make sure you read carefully!

Prom Venue: Oakwood Country Club

                       Ticket Purchasing Rules:
             2020 POLICY FOR GUEST TICKETS: 

• All guest tickets must be purchased by eligible homeschool students.  Guests are no longer permitted to purchase their own tickets.
• Eligible homeschool students must be 15 years old on or before 01/01/2020 and live in Lynchburg or the counties of Campbell, Amherst, Appomattox, and Bedford.  (address on ID must match the address given when buying a ticket)
• All guests must be 15 years old before 01/01/2020.  No guests over the age of 20. 
• Please note the time is 7:00-11:00 pm.
• All students must bring a PHOTO ID. Specifics are outlined below.
• Homeschool students must have an ID that contains ALL of this information: photo, address, & birth date.  Guests must have a photo and birth date on their IDs. If an ID is not provided at check in, there will be NO admittance.  No exceptions!

Below are some resources where you can
obtain an ID. 

BE AWARE THAT IT WILL TAKE 2-3 WEEKS TO RECEIVE AN ID FROM ANY OF THESE RESOURCES.

• VA DMV: www.dmv.virginia.gov/drivers/#id/get_id.asp
• Homeschool  Buyer's Co-Op www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/
• Members  of HSLDA can purchase IDs here hslda.org/content/​

Just to be clear:   Homeschool students must live in the areas outlined above and meet the age requirement and bring a photo ID with address and birth date.  Guests do not need to live in the area, but do need to meet the age requirement and do need to bring a photo ID with birth date.  Guest tickets must be purchased by an eligible homeschool student. No one needs to bring a paper ticket.  We will have a list of names at check in.
The reason for these changes is because the attendance has grown significantly, and we can only comfortably accommodate a certain number of people and want to make sure that the older high school students from our area are able to attend.

Where: Oakwood Country Club, 3409 Rivermont Ave., Lynchburg, VA  24503
When: To Be Determined
Time:  7:00 PM - 11:00 PM
Who:

• Homeschooled students (15 years old by 01/01/2020) who live in Lynchburg or the counties of Campbell, Amherst, Appomattox, or Bedford . All homeschool students must provide a photo ID with address and birthday. 
• Guests of homeschooled students (must also be 15 years old by 01/01/2020 and not over the age of 20). Guests do not need to live in the area, but do need to also provide ID.  

Age: All attendees must be at least 15 years old before January 1st, 2020 (this usually coincides with a sophomore). The attendance has grown over the last few years, so the prom is now for the upper levels of high school students.
​
Dress Code:  This is a formal event, so dress appropriately (in formal wear). No shorts. Evening gowns/dresses for girls and at least a suit and tie for the guys. Tuxedos are optional. Please follow the rules before showing up, or you may be asked to change and come back.
