Penn Foster High School Transfer Credits

[bjcheung77]

Just wondering, have you thought about Homeschooling the kid and running their program similar to a Dual Credit option? Such as having them finish their High School at the same time they finish a College Associates Degree? Since you're doing "all the work" of the administrator, the parent can just "sign off" the printouts you create for the student, this program may work exactly as planned.

This is what I propose, for the cost of their education at Penn Foster, the $ can be used for the Cornerstone at COSC. They can take all the required courses through CLEP/MS for FREE and/or if they want to do them mostly at home, 44 credits from Onlinedegree.com at $9/course. An Associates (or 2) can be had for under $2 grand if they follow this model. If they need other courses, Saylor.org can be $25/course. At the end of the day when all the studies are complete, you do the High School transcript for the student!

If the student would like to further their education to the Bachelors level, simple - continue on with StraighterLine and Study.com to get the UL requirements of a Bachelors degree OR they can transfer everything to WGU and try to complete everything in a term or two.

If you're adamant in sending the kid to Penn Foster, another option you may want to look at is Ashworth College as well.

¹ Many colleges use ACE recommendations to determine credit transfer values. Credits earned in Penn Foster programs may transfer to some, but not all, learning institutions. Students who plan to continue their education with another school should check with that school regarding credit transfer policies.

² Homeschooling Requirements: Penn Foster High School students who are of compulsory age must also comply with home school requirements dictated by their school district, or those students will be considered truant. You need to check the requirements of your district to ensure the Penn Foster High School Program meets the district's home school requirements.
