Question

Can i go to college if im in independent study? I'm a freshman and have independent study... Cause if i can't, then i should go back to my previous school..

Answer 1

Yes, you can.  I did.  I went to university while in 11th and 12th grade and continued after I graduated high school.

Answer 2

Hi--Of Course you can go as long as you have a high school transcipt(kind of like a report card) & the independt study high school is accredited.

Answer 3

I assume you mean that, if you are doing independent study for high school, can you go to college in 3 or 4 years?

YES!

Colleges are always looking for diversity in educational backgrounds and homeschoolers typically have a more rigorous education than their public school counterparts. Many (though not all, by any means) homeschoolers manage to go to college a year or so earlier than they would have if they stayed in public school.

Just make sure that you *are* doing a rigorous course of study. Math, science, history, english, foreign language (if at all possible), things in the arts (music, drama, fine arts, etc.) and other extracurriculars should all be part of your learning experience. Try and at least match what you would get if you were in a local high school: Do the high schools near you get up to trig in math? You can try pre-calculus. But whatever the specifics, just make sure you are doing the work that colleges expect and keep documentation (a portfolio, tests you've done, etc.).

Answer 4

In a word: Yes.

Yes, you can go to college or Uni.

Both my 24 yr old brother and 19 yr old sister are currently doing BSc (Hons) degrees at a top university and have both been accepted to do their Master's...and neither of them has ever set a foot in school in their whole lives. In fact, given that we are a family of unschoolers, they both went to university without having any paper qualifications or diplomas from "high school" to show in support of their applications.

Answer 5

if you are talking about after high school, then the answer is yes...you get an actual report card and a high school diploma.

and you can also go to a community college, while you are still doing your independent study! you get high school AND college credits for the classes that you take and get a grade higher than a "c" in.
