Is there any way to earn a HS diploma instead of a GED at a home school?
lukkymax asked:
If you already completed the required courses for a diploma stated by your district at a regular school, but took home school your last year in high school, can you get a diploma instead of a GED?

Of course. When you are homeschooled, your parents are the administrators - therefore, they can issue you a completely legitimate diploma.
Summer
Yes, but not usually from the public school. Your parents would issue the diploma.

Why would you get a GED?
A diploma is a piece of paper that decoratively states you completed a program. Your parents and/or homeschool association, homeschool support group, curriculum supplier can issue it.
What matters most, though, is not that diploma, but rather your transcript and SAT/ACT scores.
None of hte homeschoolers that I know have gotten a GED-they all have a diploma to show their completion of home schooling, and to get into college.
The public school is not going to give you a diploma, though, if you did not complete our education through the public school system.

Yes. Your parents issue you the diploma.
