Question: How can I obtain a diploma for my highschooler and give them credits for their work?


Answer: It depends on if you want a state recognized diploma or simply an unofficial one. During your child's 8th grade year start thinking about the direction you want to take to complete high school. To achieve a diploma recognized by the state you need to be connected to a state-certified school, public or private. Check out our list of state-certified correspondence schools and online schools and classes that offer credits and diplomas. Also check with your local public school district to see if there any homeschool programs available. If you choose to give your son or daughter a diploma not recognized by the state, you (the parent) or a certified teacher can make up a transcript showing that the student has completed the requirements to graduate. To help make college admissions go smoother, a student can generally get a GED from a local community college. A GED is meant to show that a student has a high school level education but it does not necessarily replace a diploma.
