Homeschool Records: How to Make a Transcript
Homeschooling offers flexibility and personalized education, but managing homeschool records can be challenging. Now that one of my daughters has graduated and my second daughter is heading into her senior year, I have some experience with the process of making a transcript so it doesn’t feel quite so intimidating. One of my best pieces of advice is to find a system that works for you so you can be consistent and feel confident doing it.
Homeschool Records is here to simplify this process, providing a comprehensive online platform for families to store and automate all their educational records for grades 8-12. We recently had a chance to give it a try and I think it can be a big help to homeschool families who are worried about making high school transcripts.
How to Make a Homeschool High School Transcript
When it comes time to make a high school transcript for your homeschooled teen, it can feel very daunting. Especially if you’re a relaxed, eclectic homeschooler as we are, or even an unschooler. You might begin to have doubts about having everything covered that your teen needs to get into college.
First, take a deep breath. Remember that you’ve been homeschooling and learning together for years now, so you’ve got this. Now gather all your notes and documentation so you can use a tool like Homeschool Records to piece it together.
Hint: if you’re really on the ball, start when your teen is in the middle grades so you can use Homeschool Records from the start and it won’t seem so overwhelming to make a transcript! That’s part of keeping your homeschool vision in focus, too.
