Can home schoolers get a high school diploma and attend a university or college?

Within the realm of home schooling a family can make their own decisions about the educational path their children take and it is no different in the high school years. Some families choose not to pursue a high school diploma and instead use a portfolio of their achievements and challenged test scores to gain acceptance into post-secondary institutions and/or job situations. Other students do choose the diploma route, and take Alberta Learning courses or other courses that meet the criteria for credits. The school board that you are registered with can assist you in mapping out a plan for your high school students, regardless of the route you choose.  more
