My parents started homeschooling me after my 3rd grade year and have now placed me in high school; I am a freshman this year. I want to homeschool myself now but still take a few classes at my high school. Is that possible to do without your parents permission?

No, you would have to have your parents permission.
As far as I know public schools will not allow students to be enrolled part time and homeschooled part time. I would check with the local school board to see what they would say about that.
If you are looking for options there is a new vitural school just opening up this year in Indiana it is called Connections Academy. It is a on-line school, totally free to you and at your age most of the classes you would do on your own with no help from your parents.
They send you everything, books, workbooks, cdrom, computer & like $16 a month to help pay for the internet. There is a teacher based in Muncie that would call and check in on you and answer you questions. Just a thought.

My guess would be you will need your parent's permission to attend the classes at the high school, if your state and district allow homeschoolers to do so. Also, in most states, only a parent or legal gaurdian can homeschool a child, so even if your parents had to work and you were following the curriculum on your own while they were gone, they would need to submit the papers to your school district to withdraw you and, if your state requires any sort of evaluations, would need to submit the portfolios and attend the meetings. If you really want to go back to homeschooling, sit down with your parents with a clear list of reasons why (and "I like the fact I don't have to get up at 600am when I home school" is not the sort of thing that will help change their minds!) and the benefits of homeschooling to your high school. Check to see if you can take a few classes at the HS as a homeschool student and then explain what classes you would take, why, how you would get to and from, etc. Good luck!

No. When you're under 18, your parents have to sign things.
Besides, if your parents aren't giving you permission, how will do your homeschooling? Behind their backs? Not a good idea.

It's best to call the board office. Age is a consideration, and whether the school will let you take classes there and get home schooling. If you're not 18, you may not be able to home school yourself because there isn't a qualified adult accounting for your education.

Just join a virtual school, with your parents' permission.

You would need your parents to sign forms, etc.
