Typical Homeschool Day (2012 2013 school year)
Questions and Answers
I'm doing homeschool this year for 11 grade. I need a cheap online program.
Hey Kelsy,
Okay, I attached a list of online highschools for you that show their fees and stuff. But if I were you I wouldn't choose to attend a cheap online school. I wouldn't want finances in the way of my education. Anyway, you could also get into charter schools. Just check out the link I attached with this note and also make a though search on the online highschool programs you might consider to see which is the best for you. Hope that helps!

Any recommendations?
And have anyone heard of American High School? I don't know if it's real or not…. Help
Heres the link Http://americanonlinehigh.com/
The free online programs (like K12, Insight, and Connections Academy) are correspondence programs run by public schools so they are different in each state. The ones you pay for are run by private schools. American High School is one of these type of programs. You follow their rules, curriculum, and schedule. There is very little control over your education other than picking classes. They are like regular school only done on a computer instead of in a classroom. Usually you are considered enrolled in the sponsoring school instead of homeschooled.
Traditional homeschooling is independent of a program. You would follow your state homeschooling laws. You pick your own curriculum and can use anything you want which you decide fits your needs, interests, learning style, and budget instead of the all-for-one curriculum in schools and programs. This can be an all-in-one kit from the same company (like Sonlight, Abeka, etc) or a mix of different companies. Your parents are in charge of your education instead of a school.
I wouldn't recommend a full online program for that age; they really need hands on experiences and personal interaction. I know there are a ton of individual subjects that you can use on the computer, but most of them are really more "game" than "education." At that age it would be a serious mistake to just plop your kid in front of a computer for long periods of time anyway, it can cause considerable eye strain and they don't learn social skills clicking a mouse. If that didn't disuade you at all, you could check out the secular K12 program or the Christian Alpha Omega program. I've used the Alpha Omege computer program for 3rd grade science and it is educationaly sound, but my kids didn't like to read a whole chapter of information on the computer so I ended up printing out the whole lesson and then they got back on to answer the questions; kind of defeated the purpose of having a computer program in the first place. E-mail me if you would like to talk further, I've homeschooled for 13 years.

Homeschool Behind-The-Scenes
Questions and Answers
He's a 20-year-old high school dropout. He started dating a girl from a religious family. He decided to enroll in this girl's homeschool program. They are teaching him weird things like Catholicism, Mormon, and JW are a cult. They taught him that Catholic nuns are the demographic with the highest abortin rates. That Catholics invented no meat on Fridays because they own the fish markets. Should I be worried? He also complains to the girl's father about me being an Atheist. He happens to be a minister. He has encouraged my brother to distance himself from me.
He believes a Christian home school diploma is better than a GED. They all end up at the same community colleges though. I don't see his point.
We don't live with our parents. My brother and I live in seperate places as well.
It sounds like what they are saying is incorrect, however it is ultimately his choice. Be concerned but ALWAYS loving to him.
I am a Christian, one of Jehovah's Witnesses, with 2 stubborn brothers.
I have often seen that they WILL make the mistakes they want to, whether I think they should or not. Sometimes it works out well, usually not.
My coworker needs a copy of her diploma to stay employed. She graduated in 2001 through an accredited and recognized home school academy. They have since shut down operations, and she has no way to contact anyone. She has tried contacting state and county Depts. Of Education, education boards, and the department of records to see if they can direct her to someone, but this has lead nowhere. Google searches, white pages, and yellow pages have not helped either.
She has no info other than the academy program's name, old location before shutdown, and a pastor that was there (that could very well be dead by now).
If she was enrolled in a distance learning Christian homeschool program, the school should have given her the diploma and her high school transcripts upon graduation. If her parents purchased curriculum from the the program and homeschooled her using this program's curriculum without enrolling her in the diploma program, then it's her parents responsibility to create her high school transcripts and giver her a diploma if desired. If she graduated from this program, it's a little late to request a diploma from them now. Her parents should have been asking for the diploma when she was finished. I know many, many homeschoolers who choose to enroll their high school students in a distance learning program and they received their diploma and official high school transcripts in 2-4 weeks of submitting their final course work.
If Mom/Dad were involved in her education in this program, they can always try to recreate her high school transcripts showing all course work completed in high school. Here's a transcript template:

Some homeschool parents make and print a diploma

Others purchase a diploma Http://www.nexternal.com/hslda/for-your-…
I'm not sure if they will post date the printed diploma to 2001, but you can purchase the blank diploma and get someone to fill it out in calligraphy or on a printer.
Thousands of homeschoolers have entered colleges, universities, even the Ivy Leagues and the Armed forces with similar credentials since the late 1980s. My children all have diplomas signed by their parents, and no one has ever questioned them, nor even looked at them for that matter. Their transcripts verify completion of high school, courses taken, and their GPA.
I would like to know a couple programs that I can check out that let you do multiple years in one or in half the time or something.
Charity Christian Academy requires placement testing and then allows you to go at your own pace. The majority of students graduate from high school in three years.
