Hey. Does anyone know of any good home/internet schools? I have been looking for one because I need an alternative to high school where I can either move around a lot, or something where I can kind of accelerate right now and get all the credits I need to graduate in one year(right now I am a junior).
Also, did anyone here do homeschooling. If so what program did you do it through, how long did you do it, and how did you like it? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Although I don't have any recommendations of high school internet classes, I do recommend taking online college classes, which can be taken also as dual-credit classes through your local high school. I did that, and graduated high school with 20 hours of college already completed. Which means I don't ever have to take a college English or Math class ever again with my major.

I don't know man. A guy I knew and used to be friends with pretty much dropped out of regular High School to do online HS and he never really ended up doing any of it. We graduated and he didnt. He had no motivation. Think about it, when you get online you want to go to places like AP, not school.

Do they have any "adult high schools" where you are? We have a couple, they transfer the credits you have over, and you go once or twice a week for ten minutes and meet with a teacher, they give you a packet or two of work, then you back the next week and take the "test" on it, and if you get above a 70, you get the next packet and move on. Usually, courses like science and health and english last only two, three, or four weeks, longer courses are history, some electives, and PE depending on if you need the credits or not. Oh, and at the end, you graduate and get your diploma, not a GED.

Home Schooling never pans out in my opinion.

I know a girl who gets home schooled for 1 hour a day. I have no idea how that can equate out to the average 7 hours of public schooling that most students recieves, but she swears it does.
