Will I need to go to the school to get his transcript or just request it through mail? Hi Amanda, Sorry, somehow I missed your comment before. It depends on school policy. You will most likely have to go in. If your son is over 18, HE will have to go in and request the transcript. Typically, schools will not send a transcript to people who call - it's difficult to verify. Most schools will show grades online, as long as your son can still log in to the student portal, and colleges will request a copy of transcript from the school in a sealed envelope, even though you combine the public school grades with your homeschool grades.
Hi Amy! Yes it is possible! You can homeschool 12th grade now, and still allow her to graduate from homeschooling with a homeschool diploma. Blessings, Lee.

They also may wonder if a diploma is necessary in order to attend college, get a job, and even join the military. The good news is that many traditionally homeschooled students get a diploma from their parents, which is often accepted by most colleges and universities.
For students who attend an online homeschool or take courses through an umbrella school or correspondence school, they typically get their diplomas from that institution. But as for receiving a diploma from the school district in which your homeschooled student lives—that rarely happens.
It's always a good idea to check your state's laws and regulations regarding homeschooling, not just regarding diplomas, but also to be sure you are following all their guidelines, especially with regards to high school courses and requirements.
For instance, some states have specific graduation requirements , even for homeschooled students. In these situations, once your student has completed the graduation requirements, they have earned their diploma. If your state doesn't have specific graduation requirements, you probably have a lot of freedom to create your own.
Consequently, your requirements should be based on your child's abilities, interests, and future career goals. Overall, a high school diploma is an official document awarded by a school indicating that the student has successfully completed the necessary requirements for graduation. Even though homeschools are usually not accredited like many public and private schools , this fact usually doesn't negatively impact a student's college or career goals.
In fact, many homeschooled students are admitted to colleges and universities and can even earn scholarships. But if you really want your homeschooled student to have an accredited diploma, you could look into an online school or distance learning program. Keep in mind that many colleges and universities are actively looking for homeschool graduates and often appreciate a non-traditional approach to school.
In fact, many homeschooled students are recognized as high-achieving students and are actively recruited by schools such as MIT, Harvard, Duke, and Stanford. In these instances, colleges and universities are more interested in what your student knows than a piece of paper indicating that they graduated.
Still, be sure you are aware of the admission requirements for the colleges and universities your student is interested in.
And, if your student is interested in joining the military immediately after graduation, you may want to talk with a recruiter to determine if your student will need a diploma from an accredited institution. If this is the case, you may want to consider having your student supplement their homeschool education with a few courses from a local community college. It's also important to note that your homeschool student will not need to get a GED.
When students get these tests, admissions officers, employers, and military recruiters might assume that your student dropped out of high school instead of graduating from a homeschooling environment.
Even though parents are usually most concerned about getting a diploma, a transcript is usually much more important than a diploma. This documentation shows what coursework your student completed and what grades they received in each course. Keep in mind, transcripts are requested by more than just colleges.
Many times, employers, the military, trade schools, apprenticeship programs, and scholarship committees also may request a copy of your student's transcript. It gives me a peek at life outside of homeschool! I gave up my job as a teacher when I had my children. Over the years I have slowly dipped my toes back in the water.
As my children grow and leave the house I will be able to devote more time to the business. I would also like to start some other type of volunteer work next year.
It all goes by in the blink of an eye. It seems like just yesterday we abandoned the idea of traditional school in favor of homeschooling. Here we are, approaching the end of the road, and I can honestly say it has been the most difficult, joyful, rewarding journey I have ever been on.
