Homeschool Record Keeping for High School
Are you homeschooling a student who is entering the upper grades? Learn more about homeschool record keeping and how it can help you prepare a high school transcript!
Many homeschool parents experience some degree of anxiety as they look ahead to the high school years. I can relate, because I experienced it firsthand.
Common questions include:
- What if I can’t teach high school courses?
- What if my child ends up unprepared for college?
- Will my child get a REAL diploma?
- How in the world do I make a high school transcript?
In answer to the first two questions, I’m here to tell you that you CAN homeschool high school (or find outside help if you prefer) and prepare your child for college successfully.
The third question is totally dependent on your state. (In PA, yes, your child CAN receive an official diploma.)
And finally, yes, you CAN make a high school transcript that looks professional and that will be accepted by colleges. Let’s talk more about that.
I received this product for free and was compensated for my time. All thoughts and opinions are my own; I was not required to post a positive review.
Homeschool Record Keeping for High School
The key to preparing a solid transcript is to keep excellent records throughout the high school years. As soon as your child enters high school, you need to begin maintaining records of attendance, courses, grades, and credits.
This doesn’t have to be overwhelming, though! Homeschool Records can help you record everything you need in one place.
All High School Records in One Place
Designed by a retired homeschool mom, Homeschool Records gives you a place to keep all the high school records needed for graduation:
- attendance record
- high school course/credit record (with space for course descriptions)
- final grades
Additional options include:
- instruction hours record
- reading log
- resume (great for teens who have a job!)
- volunteer hours record
No more scrambling to find the information you need from three years ago—with Homeschool Records it’s all in one place!
Easy to Use
I love how easy it is to use Homeschool Records. All I have to do is put in the actual information like course names and descriptions, grades, credits, etc. Then the magic happens.
Homeschool Records assembles all the information into a variety of reports. For example, I can view my son’s courses as a complete list with an overview of details, or I can choose to view each course individually. The individual course reports include full details such as the course description, year taken, materials used, and types of assessment used.
The best part is that all I have to do is enter the information. Homeschool Records does the rest!
Printable Reports
One of the best features of Homeschool Records is the printable option. Any of the reports–from courses to resume to reading log–can be printed out with the click of a button. This makes it a snap to add professionally formatted reports to the student’s portfolio.
Using Homeschool Records to Create a High School Transcript
There are a lot of benefits to using Homeschool Records, but the top one in my book is the transcript creation feature.
Homeschool Records uses all the information you add over your student’s four years of high school, and prepares a beautiful high school transcript for you. No worries over what info to include, how to format or lay out the transcript—nothing. It’s all done and ready to print.
Also, Homeschool Records has contracted with Parchment, a service that securely sends official homeschool transcripts to colleges the student is applying to. So you’ll never need to worry about sending an official transcript!
