For anyone who is interested, I received a reply today from the University of Art and Music in Berlin. They said any diploma was fine. As I had mentioned the umbrella schools that homeschoolers sometimes use, they apparently had no problem with that option either. So Binx, you’re right.

My advice for anyone who in a similar situation is, of course, to double check. It’s not like my daughter has gotten in anywhere yet. But the university’s answer is encouraging, at least as it applies to the specific question about academic requirements and homeschoolers. The audition and language requirements are, of course, separate issues that are quite demanding. The diploma question is just a preliminary hurdle.
