When I was in high school, my mom always did it just like the public schools. if it was a full year of work it would be 1 credit, and if it was a semester of work it would be 1/2 credit. Hope this helps!!

I agree with Beth. If you used an average homeschool curriculum, like say, Saxon math, Apologia science, then if you finished the book, you have a credit. I would even venture to say if you finished the book, and your child did well, it could be considered honors work because those particular courses are much more advanced per grade level than what is taught in public school (not a judgment, I have friends that have taught their children using those texts and then were able to test their children through one, sometimes two grade levels in those subjects when they had to place them in a public school, or at the very minimum were able to place their children in honors classes with upperclassmen)
Every state is different, but here in Texas, your transcript isn't that particular until you are actually in highschool. I would start with just telling the school what your child has studied and what their letter grade was: example: Saxon Math pre-algebra, 1 year, A-, Apologia General Science, 1 year, B+ so on.
Hope this helps you.

I plan to do it just like the public schools. 1 year, 1 credit. PE can come from any kind of daily exercise. That kind of thing. Just let him go at his own pace. When he has completed the book, or comprehended all the information for that year, he gets a credit.
Find out what your state requires as far as how many credits. It will be about 4 of each or less.
Good luck!

This can be worked out with the school counselor. When you meet with him/her, present a detailed list of your child's academic and work experiences. The counselor can take it from there and make appropriate recommendations.

i think you have to take the information to the school district and they let you know how it calculates. you should insist on being a part of the process in case there is disagreement.
