Online Schooling/ homeschooling?

Question

Hi I live in New York City and I am looking into finishing 12th grade online or through correspondence. I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice, I plane on going to a community college so transferring my credits shouldn't be a problem plus I am prepared to take a college prep diploma. I have posted other questions about this but now I want to learn more and some of the stuff online is hard for me to understand, so if anyone who knows what they are talking about can help me... Thank you.

I think distance and E-learning study is not a suitable choice, but physically and virtual learning together is good.

Answer 4

Hi,

As of September I go to an online school.  I am in the eleventh grade. It is called Keystone National High School. They have many different courses and options you could look into. You have real teachers that you communicate with and you send your papers and tests to.

Best of Luck

Answer 6

Unless there is a city approved system, you are going to have an impossible time.  NYS homeschool laws are the most restrictive in the country.

Your on-line sylubus MUST MATCH to the letter the city/state approved sylubus, otherwise they will deny you the rights.

NYS systems regularly reject Penn Foster course studies, which is the oldest system in the country and awards an accredited HS diploma under a Washington system and their university is accredited for a BS degree by Arizona, yet NYS reguarly rejects the use of Penn Foster for homeschoolers.

You can give it a try, but be ready for a fight with the system.

Also understand NYS will NOT let you into ANY public college without either a HS diploma (acceptable to the state) or a GED.

NYS state, whose Math Regents almost got thrown out three years ago because no one passed it, who graduate someone I know who thinks Demark is a city, is pretty uppity about their standards which they, themselves, don't meet scholastically!

And that Oprah piece on NY city schools with ceillings falling down didn't help give us much confidence in NYC schools!

Answer 7

Accredited Online school.  Your credits will transfer easily.  Sounds like you have a plan.  Good luck.
