Does independent study help make up credits?

Question

me and my parents plan on putting me in homeschool(Independent study) my junior year which is this august but i'm not sure if it will help me catch up since i'm behind 30 credits. will it help me ctach up also will i earn my junior credits at the same time?

Answer 1

Wow, 30 credits behind??????!!!!!!

That's more than my high school required for graduation.  We only had to have 24 from 9th-12th.

If you need to make up that many credits, it's not going to happen in one year.  That would be an insane amount of studying.

If you do want to earn credit for work you do at home, then you need to make sure your public school will allow them if you return your senior year.  If you take courses online, then you should be fine, provided you go with a reputable school.

I would say, at most, you could make up 10 credits, but that would be 10 classes per semester.

Answer 2

You could if you work reall hard, but different schools credits are different. At my school, you need like 250 to graduate, but you get 10 per class per year. How many do you get per class so we can tell you whether this is realistic or not? Independent study is great, as long as you can motivate yourself.

Answer 3

Well sweetie I recommend you try keystone credit it helps you make up at least 4 classes worth of credits but there's a catch for every class you fell you have to pay $100.Its easy my sister completed 3 classes over the summer.
