I might have spoken loosely. In practical terms we're homeschooling, but officially it's a virtual public charter school, with no school buildings and with students spread out over the state, so I'm not sure how we're classified. In any case, I found a nearby middle school on this

where AMC competitions can be taken by outsiders. I'm not sure what will happen with MATHCOUNTS, but we've got a few years to figure that out, and I have to think that unaffiliated individuals (no team/club, even if in a "school") have a way of competing.

Thanks, we'll keep this in mind if other options don't work out.
