Return To Homeschooling Article Archive   Homeschool Moms - Why A High School Diploma May Provide Peace of Mind By Lynn Howland Have you ever wondered what will happen when your homeschooled child applies for college? Even though everyone assures you that things have changed and that homeschooled kids have no trouble, you still wonder. Will they get accepted? Will our home education be enough? Even though my oldest child was only 7 when I decided to homeschool, those questions haunted me. Was I going to hurt her chances to get into college by not providing her with transcripts and a diploma? There may be an answer that will give you peace of mind. Did you know that they can earn a high school diploma from an online high school without restrictions of age or location. It will be complete with official transcripts and education verification letters. If your student is over the age of sixteen, meets any state requirements, and passes an equivalency test, they can earn a diploma from an accredited high school based on the things you have taught and from life experiences. Homeschool students are welcomed. The sad fact is that most employers and many colleges still do prefer a high school diploma to a GED or home school records. Though this may not always be the case, there is also an unfortunate stigma attached to a GED that has led students to greatly prefer a high school diploma. Even if your child isn't headed for college, a high school diploma will allow them to qualify for many entry-level positions. Were you aware that some employers will not even consider applicants without a diploma regardless of their ability to do the job? Even though there will always be people who think it is a scam to allow homeschool kids or adults to earn a diploma without spending countless hours in a public classroom, these high schools are different. Belford High School is a perfect example of a good choice in an online high school. If you search online, there are several options. Just make sure the one you choose knows the value of life and work experiences regardless of the total number of hours logged in a traditional classroom setting. So keep training your children in the way you see fit, encourage him or her to do well on the college entrance exams, and have them take the simple equivalency test to see if they qualify to get a diploma. It will give you peace of mind and will give them another step toward a bright future. Lynn Howland is a reviewer of parenting and educational products like Belford High School.
