UVF’s Spring Concert

By /

As the University of Valley Forge (UVF) prepares for the end of yet another wonderful semester, there is one annual event that celebrates all the Lord has done as Spring finally comes into bloom. The University of Valley Forge Spring Concert is a campus favorite as it incorporates classical, contemporary, and worship pieces all in a two-hour display of UVF students’ musical abilities.  

With classic pieces from Franz Schubert’s Kyrie and contemporary worship songs sung by the University and Concert choirs, the Flower Chapel echoed with sounds of praise unto the King of Kings. UVF also featured performances from its very own percussion ensemble and incorporated a jazz combo into the night. Our students and faculty work hard to come together and make this performance a gift to our campus community. Yet, with all the hard work that goes into this concert, the UVF performers hope that the audience will walk away refreshed by the time of praise and worship.  

Dr. DeSanto, the Chair of the Music Department, expressed this hope on behalf of the choirs, saying, “All styles of music become an act of worship when it comes from the heart and is directed to the Lord.”  

While this concert celebrates the upcoming conclusion to another academic year at UVF, Dr. DeSanto added another sentiment that brings the University of Valley Forge 2026 Spring Concert to a satisfying close. He shared, “As the director, it is always special to see how much our students grow as musicians and grow in their walk with the Lord. Additionally, it is an opportunity for us to minister to the local community and allows others to see the quality of our music programs.” The Spring Concert not only celebrates what has been accomplished but also sets the tone for the growth and worship in the semesters to come.

  • Student’s name and contact information   
  • A list of courses by grade level (9th-12th)   
  • The grades and credits earned for each course   
  • GPA  

You can use online tools or templates to help structure your transcript.

No, colleges understand that homeschool students may follow a non-traditional curriculum. You are not required to use a specific homeschooling program, but the courses should be rigorous and meet the academic standards of the college. 

UVF is test-optional, . It’s best to check each college’s specific testing policy. If you submit them, we will use those test scores for placement into math and English courses.  If you don’t submit test scores, we have placement tests that we designed that you will take instead. 

Homeschool students are encouraged to get involved in extracurricular activities (sports, clubs, volunteering, internships, etc.). For letters of recommendation, you can ask mentors, tutors, employers, or community leaders who are familiar with your work and character. We understand that your experiences may look different from those of traditional students. 

Homeschool students typically don’t have a GPA or class rank based on a standardized grading system. You may be asked to provide your grading scale (e.g., A = 90-100, B = 80-89, etc.) and explain how you evaluate coursework. . 

If your grading was pass/fail, a work sample does help us evaluate the rigor of your coursework. 

Yes, homeschooled students are eligible for the same federal and state financial aid (e.g., FAFSA) as other students. You are also eligible for institutional scholarships. 

You may be asked to provide documentation showing that your homeschooling complies with the laws of your state (e.g., notice of intent to homeschool, records of testing or assessments). We are familiar with most states’ homeschool laws. 

Yes, you can still apply as a homeschooled student if you were homeschooled for any portion of high school. You’ll need to explain the structure of your education and provide transcripts for both your public/private school and homeschool years, if applicable. 

A GED is not required if you have completed your high school education through homeschooling, provided you can submit a detailed transcript and meet the other application requirements. However, if you took the GED, you may submit those scores as part of your application if they are beneficial. 

We value the self-motivation and discipline that often come with homeschooling.  Our homeschooled students typically excel in academic curiosity, resilience, and ability to work independently. 

We always encourage students to come for an on-campus visit.  It can be a great opportunity to showcase your personality and explain your homeschooling background in person. It’s also a chance to ask questions about the college and demonstrate your interest in the school. 

Homeschooling allows you to tailor your education to your interests and strengths. We appreciate the diversity of perspectives that homeschool students bring, so don’t be afraid to highlight how your education has been non-traditional but still rigorous and meaningful. 

If you’ve taken college-level courses during high school (dual enrollment), make sure to include those credits on your application. You’ll need to request official transcripts from the college(s) where you took courses and submit them to your prospective schools. 

Some scholarships are specifically for homeschool graduates. These may be offered by homeschool associations, local foundations, or certain colleges. It’s a good idea to research scholarships in your area or inquire about opportunities at the colleges you’re applying to.
