It's cheaper too, LOL. Most dual credit classes in community college offer free tuition to homeschooled, as well as private and public schooled kids..local school boards cover the bill.

My son attended dual credit instead of high school, and earned his AA. He transfered 78 hours toward his major to the university. All 78 hours...tuition free.

Best buy for the money. It just takes a dedicated effort by the parents.

Too bad the public schools are burdened with teacher's unions....

Nice to hear they'll finally be getting a real High School diploma.

Thanks for the ping! Clare did 5 classes at the Community College, and all but one transferred as college credits when she applied. That one was considered a high school equivalent class in Chemistry. It was required if she wanted to take the Chem with the lab. She decided she wanted to take Physics instead, and that transferred just fine.

She's enjoying being at school. She's in an apartment on campus with 5 other girls, and they're getting along nicely, so far. Having taken some classes at the Comm. Coll., she was ready for the University.
