Independent Study for High School?

Question

I am doing independent study for school next year and i was wondering if it is looked at the same as a normal High School for college?

Answer 1

Keep track of what you do and work it in to a transcript. Shouldn't be a problem.

Answer 2

If you are home schooled how do you get a diploma? It really depends on how you are home schooled. If you attend an online charter school like k12 or Connections Academy, they will provide you with a diploma and transcripts. My son attended an online charter school and now attends the University of Dayton ( a private college ) and he has scholarships as well no different then if he had attended a regular public school or a private school.

If you are doing traditional homeschooling then chances are you will not receive a diploma or transcripts in the sense that most people think of them. The important thing is NOT the diploma. The transcripts are the ONLY really important thing. The transcripts are really the only thing the colleges and possibly employers want to look at.

If you were traditionally home schooled by a parent for example, then your parent needs to prepare a transcript for you.
