Is there any schools in Indiana or Illinois that are willing to test outside students in their school?

Hello,

I’m a home-schooled student in Terre Haute, Indiana, and I wish to take two AP exams that are both on the same day but at different times. I’ve searched the AP course ledger, found schools that offer the tests, and we contacted the following schools: public high schools in Terre Haute, smaller public school in Brazil, Indiana, and a private Jesuit preparatory school in Indianapolis. All of them just said no with no explanation other than boilerplate responses.

I was wondering if anybody had any sort of success with this, even if you needed to do something beforehand or pay extra to take it. It’s extremely demoralizing and frustrating that none of these schools are willing to help a hardworking outside homeschool student. Additionally, there doesn’t appear to be anywhere else other than high schools to take them.

Please help us and share schools that actually did allow you to test. We’re willing to drive up to 2 hours from Terre Haute, Indiana to find a testing center.

Thank you very much

And, before I get any responses about this, for the purposes of this post, assume clep exams and community college courses are not an option.

AP Exam Options in Terre Haute, Indiana for an Independent Student there

Hey everyone,
I am relocating to Terre Haute in late 2026. I am self-studying for AP French and AP English Language & Composition and need to register for the May 2027 exams as an independent student at some public school there. I will not be able to enroll in a public school there.
Collegeboard seems to have no independent exam administration centers, which is deeply frustrating and very unfair to independent and homeschooled students.
I reached out to Terre Haute North Vigo High School, but their AP coordinator responded to me with a hard "no," stating that due to “safety and security”, they do not administer exams for outside students. I looked at the AP course ledger for Terre Haute as well as the nearby city of Brazil, and they seem to be the only school in Terre Haute that is offering those exams.
I am completely willing to pay the fees, take the exam in an isolated room, and pay additional fees associated with hosting outside students. Does anyone know of any specific public high schools, private academies, or religious schools within Terre Haute, IN that historically say "yes" to external or homeschooled or independent students? I am able to travel up to 20 minutes outside of Terre Haute to take the exam, but it is highly preferable if it is in Terre Haute.

If you know a specific school or the name of an accommodating AP coordinator, please let me know (or DM me if you want to keep it private).
Thank you!
