Is there some way that i can homeschool through my local highschool?

Question

Is that independent study?

Answer 1

That would either be independent study, online public school, or homebound if you're sick. That's not real homeschooling and you would lack the educational freedoms that homeschoolers enjoy.

Answer 2

That's usually called "homebound" and is for students with medical needs or behavioral issues.

Some school district have virtual public schools.  Your district, or another one in your state, may have a virtual public school.  Here are the two largest ones:

Look up your state to see if there's an option.  These schools would be free, since they're public.

You can also do private online schooling.  It costs quite a lot for high school, though.

Answer 3

Many schools where I live have a homeschooling component.  It probably can be done.

Answer 4

You probably  need to do it through your state education department as they are the ones who set the standards for graduation, not your specific school.

Answer 5

There are independent study courses that you can take for specific high school credits, but if you want to do all of your schooling at home, you would need to either homeschool or use a virtual school program.

If you need to do your work at home for medical reasons, you can ask your counselor about your district's "homebound" program.  That is not the same as homeschooling.

Good luck making a decision!
