We have our daughter registered with North Atlantic Regional High School, in Lewiston, Maine, for transcript credentialling and diploma purposes. We haven't had any trouble with them, and the best thing is that we can choose our own curriculum; they don't have any specific course requirements, as long as the student has the specified number of credits in the typical courses required by the State of Maine; English, History, Math, Science, etc. Check the school's website, HERE

If you're unclear about what your student will need in the way of credits for college, go online and check a few to get an idea from several schools. The State of Maine only requires 17 credits for completion of a diploma; most other states require more like 21 or 22. But if yourstudent takes any college courses while in high school, they are weighted more heavily, so the final credit count could be more like 26! The best thing about that is that not only do you get high school credit when you take those college courses, you have credits to transfer to a four year college, or into a 2 yr. Associates program just about anywhere.
