I have taken a few on-line grad classes from U of Texas, and SMU, and both work well. Can’t help you on the high school level, but if the courses are anything like the college level courses, you will stay busy.

Can you enroll concurrently at the local JC?
Here is an article about transcripts:
http://www.homeschooldiploma.com/diplomas-transcripts/what-about-transcripts-.html

Also donnayoung.org is good for transcripts and organizing tools. And it is all free.

Otherwise, I’ve used Learner.org (Annenberg) for many courses, some of which are completely self-contained. Use the drop down menu to pick adult/college courses.

You might ask for comments at degreeinfo.com. It is geared towards degree-seekers (obviously), but there's at least one active thread about the high school level (this one). The same poster might have grade school experiences that could help you.

I have enrolled my daughter (9th grade) in the Kaplan Academy Online... they are very helpful, and graduation gets you a HS diploma.

Cirriculum looks good, but as the school year has not started yet, I’ll reserve my opinion till then

I am quite happy with the Florida virtual school. The classes are challenging without being overwhelming and teach the state standard curriculum so when the student goes on to a state university they are not at a disadvantage. This is also free for Florida residents which makes it more attractive. There are several other states which have their own virtual schools as well. I don’t know what FLVS charges for an out of state student. Best of luck to you it is a lot easier if you let someone else do a lot of the work like a virtual school or a canned curriculum. I used Switched on Schoolhouse before the virtual school and that was good too.

I’m going for my Bachelor’s online with Liberty University and I love it. It looks like they also have an affiliated grade 3-12:

I tutored a kid who had flunked out of a posh boarding school — 11th grade. They wanted him to make up his courses and they would only accept BYU — Brigham Young University — Distance Learning courses. I worked with this student and LOVED the courses. Well thought out, well written, deep and thoughtful. We did US History and it was even pro-America. The American Lit class was wonderful, too.

I would highly recommend BYU’s Distance Learning. You need a proctored exam, but they can set that up for you through your local library. Your kids are young, but I would talk to them anyway. Feel free to query me further on this. The teachers were easily accessible and BYU worked well with our center. Five Star.

And yes, by 10th grade or so our son was at the local Jr College. We homeschooled, he had graduated, but there were many 14 year olds there. We took Latin this spring there, too, and there were two Jr Hi school students in our night class. Their school didn’t offer Latin and they wanted to learn it. As I understand it, if you are still a student and earn a B, they give you an A.

We homeschooled the whole time, kid ace’d SATs. I taught in public schools early on and now tutor. Let me know if I can help — I highly recommend homeschooling for about a zillion reasons.

some questions... how much are you willing to spend... and what type of education is your goal? are you looking for a "great books" type of education? liberal arts?

K-12 has a solid liberal arts line up... good quality...

Veritas Press offers a high-quality classical educatiion...

Memoria Press offers several online courses...

Escondido Tutorial has a listing of several great books courses and other classical offerings such as logic, Shakespeare, Euclid geometry and Latin...

For what it’s worth, we last compiled a list of homeschool curricula on this thread:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2050636/posts

But, there are only a few listings under “Virtual Schools” there. Next time, I’ll be adding some of the suggestions on this thread for virtual schools.
