***Yes we have 7th graders and up so this is courses for all of DC to complete by graduation.**

Ah, more information. :-)

Your non-lab science classes would be fine. Junior high English is still pretty much like senior high English, just age appropriate.

I know lots of DC going to college prep high schools and they aren't even taking some of the math or science courses that were brought to my attention in earlier post.**

Your best bet is to check with the colleges your dc might be interested in attending. Many folks on the Well Trained Mind forum have said that colleges to which their dc applied wanted those maths and sciences. If your dc are not college bound, then don't worry about it. :-) Happily, in the state where we hsed--Calif--many hsers do community college instead of high school, so my dds took their maths and sciences--well, everything--there, and their credits transferred to the state college/university system, which didn't care about any high school credits.


**I know very few children who graduate with trig. let alone algebra 2 maybe it is because we are southerners.LOL**

I am amazed at the number of hsers who do Alg. 2 and above, and who talk about what maths their dc will do when they've completed algebra by 8th grade. :-o. And I know that many states are requiring those maths for their public school students (most states don't have requirements for hsers to be graduated).

Thank you for all the info.
It gives me much to think about.
This is why I am looking into it now before highschool.
While researching I did find that my DC can go to the local community college for free. In the past I was told they would not offer this to homeschoolers .;0)
This was a good find.LOL
My oldest wants to go into the air-force.
