I'm thinking about finishing school through a homeschooling program. I've checked out programs like continental academy and citizen school. My mom is worried that I won't get into college doing this. Have any of you done a homeschooling program and can you tell me anything i need to know about them? thanks!

All colleges accept homeschoolers, and many now prefer them due to advanced abilities in indepedent study and self-motivation. In some states, homeschoolers must take the GED when they graduate but most do not and SAT and/or ACT scores are more than sufficient to satisfy college entrance and financial aid requirements. Some colleges will even give scholarships to all homeschooled students. There are many options available for homeschooling in highschool and if you are diligent in your studies the doors open in higher education will be greater, not less, than if you attended a traditional high school.

You'd really have to check with colleges you are interested in as each one will have a different policy. You should be fine as long as you do well on your SAT's, but it never hurts to check first.
Continental Academy looks like it would be okay as it is accredited under the same commission that provides accreditation for a ton of colleges.

yes. What glurpy said.
If you study diligently in any program you should be able to take a college placement test.
The admissions office is a good place to ask questions. Sit down with a college counselor and find out what things they will expect from you.

Two things - are either of them accredited? If they are, you should have no problem when you apply to college.
HOWEVER:
Check with the colleges you are interested in applying to - they can tell you if they will accept a diploma from either of these schools.
