There are two things to fill out for your homeschooled teen during high school – a high school transcript and a catalog of course descriptions.

Here is a Sample Transcript to help you get started.

Below are the classes, course titles, number of credits, and subject area requirement the class fulfills.

To figure out grades, you will need to review the syllabus for the class.

Some facilitators will assign a grade for the full course. Some will grade a portion of the class while students do tests and quizzes at home. For these classes, remember to incorporate the work at home into your student’s grade.
