We use this program.

Important thing with this program is to NOT seek a GED or you will not be allowed in the program.

My son started in 10th grade, he'll be starting his 2nd term of his 2nd year next week, he's 16 and by the end of the term will have his 60 credits needed for an AA.

Good news, he'll still be eligible for the program next year so we'll continue to use the program for one more year but just for science and math courses that will be transferable to another state university.

Most of my high school experiance was a complete waste of my time. If you can't homeschool, PUT YOUR KIDS IN PRIVATE SCHOOL.

We home schooled our daughter, printed up our own H.S. diploma, and signed her up at the local community college at fifteen. Three years and 90 credits later, with a 4.0 GPA, she transferred to Rice. It saved time, saved money, and kept her out of the toxic high school environment.

That looks like a good program, very impressive. The fact that kids can take classes online is perfect. I'm glad your son is escaping the Sheldon Cauffield stage of modern existence.

What about the influence that a humanities class on your child, this is my only major concern, that they will brainwash my 15 year old. I've audited some classes and I am amazed at the liberal garbage that pours out of the "professors".

Skipped gym class costs student diploma

BOW, N.H. - A decision to take Advanced Placement biology instead of gym will cost a Bow High School senior her diploma, but it won't keep her from going to college in the fall.

Though Isabel Gottlieb is a good student, a trumpet player in the school band and holds varsity letters in three sports, she discovered last fall she was one gym class shy of having enough credits to graduate next month.....

My son also skipped H.S., got his GED and then went on to Community College and earned his AA Degree (On the Dean's List) a year before he would have graduated from H.S.
Personally, I had a blast in H.S. but those were the "Glory Days" of Public Schools. The schools were safe, pleasant and delivered an excellent education for the most part. The things I liked were cruisin' in my Chev. Conv. and a chasin' girls, girls, girls!
