There are no requirements for homeschooling in Texas - meaning you don't need an accredited school.  If you are concerned about colleges, check the admission requirements of some of the schools you are interested in attending to find out what is required and go about meeting those requirements.  Texas universities are prohibited by law from discriminating against homeschoolers.

Answer 2

Accepted by whom in Texas? College? Any diploma is accepted for college; you don't even need a diploma. For homeschooling? You can do whatever you want in Texas for homeschooling.

Answer 3

Texas doesn't have any requirements for what curriculum you use; they honestly don't care.  They only care that you are actually being educated and are fulfilling at least the minimum requirements.  Seriously, you could fulfill your requirements for free through the public library in order to satisfy Texas.

As far as their credits being transferable, do you mean to a public school, or another online charter, or to a college?  That would depend on the individual institution.  They are accredited by a few different agencies, so credits should transfer to another school that holds the same accreditation.  Colleges, however, don't care about whether a program is accredited - they care about your transcript and test scores.

This school looks like one of the better online schools I've seen, though.  The courses are complete and challenging, it's got a good core set of classes, and it looks fairly easy to work with.  It doesn't offer much in the way of electives, so if that's something that's important to you, you'll need to take that into account.  It's also $3,000, but they allow you to pay monthly or per class, so that should break it down a bit.

You'll need to see if they'll transfer your previous credits, or if they'll require you to take anything over again.  I think you said something about moving from Ohio, they should take your credits if they were through Ohdela or something along that order.

Hope that helps!
