What home schooling do you go through to earn a diploma?

I had asked about home schooling a few weeks ago. I forgot to add if any one knows of a home school where you earn a diploma after you complete school?


You can make your own diploma, or enroll in a home study program, or correspondence school.

There are many schools out there, one I've interacted with is North Atlantic Regional School.

I'm not sure what you mean by the phrase, "after you complete school". Christian Liberty Academy will give a diploma to those who are enrolled with them. I think you have to do at least the two last years of high school in their enrollment plan in order for them to give you a diploma. Actually, you can travel to their headquarters near Chicago and graduate with the class if you want.

Any parent-teacher can make a diploma for their child. Some HS'ing programs issue diplomas, but not many. Public virtual schools (school at home) issue diplomas just like for any other public schooled kid.

A HS diploma from a parent is just as good as one from a school. You also would need a transcript and most likely a portfolio, and ACT/SAT testing to attend college. Or you can start college courses as a high schooler for dual credit.

I will give my son his diploma when he completes my requirements. He is 15 years old and I expect him to graduate by the time he is 18.

We create our own curriculum.

Our state is homeschool friendly and rules are lenient.
