Record Keeping

Whether your student attends a college, joins the military, or joins the workforce following high school, he will likely need a record of his high school coursework to begin that journey. 

Regarding academic coursework, when your student begins taking high school-level courses, record the course name and the grade they earned on a transcript. On a separate document, write a brief course description, which some institutions will require.

Your student should also compile a resume of his volunteer work, extracurricular activities, internship and/or work experiences, honors and awards, etc. 

For more details and an example of a transcript, check out HSLDA's brochure.

1 semester of college coursework = 2 semesters of high school work

AHS counts 1 credit/semester

Many homeschoolers do 1 credit/year

150 hrs of work = 1 credit

One option is to organize a transcript by subject instead of by year, it can be easier to figure out where to put high school level work completed in 7th/8th grade or where to put a multi-year elective option.

List the date graduated on the bottom of the transcript.

Have AHS and DMACC credits listed on high school transcript

Have a column of where classes were taken
