Hey, that's a pretty good plan!  <puts up tent> I'm gonna grab some popcorn, it's gonna be an interesting read... Just going to see what advice you'll get from this before I jump in... be patient, read a bit, here's a link you may want to review, read everything including the links of other threads I have posted: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Term-Limit

Now, it would be better to know a bit more details about you such as age, have commitments such as kids, marriage, work?  You may want to copy/paste or even create a PDF file and attach the information on you academic evaluation and paste it here as a reply.  What's your end goal, a Masters or go teaching abroad?  Do you have any certs? What type of work experience do you have?

Thanks for link with notes on outside credit! Very encouraging!

I'm Married with 4 kids. I've led a successful private elementary school for several years as principal. Previously worked in various nonprofit/government management roles where a BA/BS was traditionally required, but I was able to get through by self-teaching, building relationships, and demonstrating ability in related projects. I've also done some unaccredited graduate-level work related to "religious credentials" that helped me get my current position. (Mostly lectures with reading and then writing 20-30 page papers.)  

My long-term goals are to grow the school to middle and high school grades, writing on education, and generally build on what we have. 

I want to finish up the degree so that I don't have "I'm a college dropout" lingering over my future in education (What if our parents find out I don't have a degree?). I also would like to prove to the kids I teach (and their parents) they don't need to waste hundreds of thousands to get a liberal arts degree.
