Homeschooling/studying abroad?

Question

I'm homeschooled this year and I'm doing 9th/10th grade work, this fall I will be a junior. I really want to go abroad, but I don't know if I want to go to a regular school while I'm abroad. My parents and I were thinking of organizing this ourselves, and I would stay with friends of ours, it looks like London or maybe somewhere in Switzerland.

I'm thinking maybe I could live in London, join a homeschooling group and do my school work independently. Or do they have 2-3day charter schools in the UK? Can you do joint enrollment in the UK while in high school?

The main reason I'm not sure about going to a school is I'm worried about my credits getting screwed up, and they don't have AP classes in the UK. Could I take IB classes in the UK and then come home and take the AP exams? I have heard that AP/IB are equal in difficulty.

Please do not tell me that I should go with a program, they are too expensive, and it is too late to apply for rotary. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

you should try regular school its much better and you will find many new friends and girl friends its sweet try it

Answer 2

If you chose not to use a program, there really isn't a problem.  Continue your studies as if you were at home with your parents only expand your studies to include your new surroundings.  Study English Literature by going to stratford upon avon, delve into shakespeare and attend many plays at the local theater.  As  you already know, you can homeschool ANYWHERE in the world but if you choose to study abroad then explore your surroundings and incorporate it into your lesson plan.  The sky is the limit.  Europe has many avenues in Literature and the arts.
