Ending the school year well means assigning transcript credit for courses completed for a high school diploma. Home educators are wise to prepare an official transcript that is similar to those used in state public schools. This is important for students who plan to submit applications to college registrars who need tangible evidence that the student applicant is a viable candidate for the college. Official transcripts from your home school academy should have an official ame that depicts a professional-level academic education. You can use such names as “Jones Academy”, “Leadership Academy”, “Character and Science Academy”, “Rural and Urban School of Leadership” or a similar title. You might be wise to avoid the words “Home School.” Some registrars simply do not know how to process applications from home school students. The total number of academic transcript credits should equal or exceed those required for college entrance (usually at least 22).
