Penn Foster High School Transfer Credits

[cookderosa]

It has been awhile since I've been on the forums and I see there have been some changes. Good to see the BACS from TESU is easier to earn than when I finished it. I'm not planning to get another college degree at the moment but who knows. Anyway, I have a high school question.

Does anyone know if Penn Foster High School takes any transfer credits? I understand they take traditional high school credits that will reduce the tuition. Are there any other options for transfer credit, especially credits we talk about here like CLEP/AP, actual college credits, or anything ACE approved, that they don't talk openly about and is there a time limit on transferring credits like WGU not accepting credits after enrollment? It would be nice to get college credits while in high school just like homeschools can. 

Are there any other things a parent should know or tips about this high school program? I'm thinking the kid can finish in four months unless there is some sort of "governor" in the program that prevents it. 

Thanks.

Quick question, is homeschooling off the table? If your state doesn't have graduation requirements (most don't) you can switch to homeschooling and create your own diploma requirements- which won't have to include ANY high school courses, especially expensive ones. Homeschoolers build their own program, something you can do using ACE classes, CLEP/AP, etc.
If you are interested, let me know what state you're in and I can help you look up what would be involved in simply switching to a homeschool. I've homeschooled for over 20 years, it's a great option with the ultimate flexibility.
