  1. Great, thanks! I know transcripts from community colleges and public/private high schools need to be sent to colleges but I was not clear on online programs for homeschoolers.
  2. One affordable organization that is doing AP Biology this year is Scholars Online. John Hopkins Center for Talented Youth might offer one but you'd have to register. There is also another option though it is a huge time commitment and not a great fit for everyone. You can register with the College Board to teach it and put it on your transcript as an official AP class. There are some AP courses I wouldn't feel confident enough with the material but I did take on AP Chemistry for this coming school year and we've toyed with doing AP Literature as well. Labs are a commitment for the household anyway for the AP science classes even if they are taken online. You can take the exam at most local public high schools in May but be sure to register in November!
  3. Does anyone know how to handle online courses that only make up a portion of the content covered in a course? Do we need to add every online course taken? My oldest daughter has a confusing series of courses she has taken for high school credit starting in 6th grade. One co-op was required by their accrediting agency to issue HS grades to all students enrolled in certain classes - she got As. She had credit for Latin I with them but then changed to another Latin program online that was much harder and used a different text so they enrolled her in Latin I again. When she took Latin II in the online class this year, she also worked with a local tutor using a separate textbook and generated almost as much work for him as she did for the class. I have no interest in listing the Latin I and II twice on her high school transcript or giving more than 1 credit per class. Can I simply combine them and create my own course description and my own grading scheme that covers the material she learned over the years? She also took a 2 year world history sequence where they used an AP textbook but this was in 7th and 8th grade. Can I combine those courses into 1 credit for high school? She is supposed to begin her freshman year this coming fall. Essentially, she will have too many HS credits on her transcript earned prior to HS. Omitting them entirely leaves gaps though - a student must take World History for example. Thank you for any advice! PS - She will have plenty of AP and CLEP scores to back up her transcript, plus dual enrollment credits with the local college so outside high school accredited classes aren't important to us. I'd like to keep it simple and just have one homeschool transcript I generate and one from the CC for her dual enrollment.
