Q 3. How do we take our child from homeschool to college? What credits do they earn?Although eTAP does not grant High School diplomas, you can qualify for college admission by taking the GED, or General Educational Development Test. This is a test that certifies the taker has attained high school-level academic skills. For most purposes, a GED is considered to be equivalent to a high school diploma.Approximately 95% of colleges will accept GED graduates, though they will typically require them to take the SAT and/or ACT. If a 4-year college will not accept a GED graduate, they can attend any community college in the United States, after which they can transfer to almost any four-year university. To find detailed information about GED test requirements, please visit the American Council on Education at www.acenet.edu/clll/ged/index.cfm. To find information about the SAT requirements and test dates, please visit the official SAT site www.collegeboard.com.

This should find local home school information and support groups that list your state’s requirements.Q 5. How do we document our child’s progress to meet our State’s or Charter School’s requirements?If you are a parent supervising your child’s education at home with eTAP, we recommend that you keep a record of the worksheets and other work (problems, tests, etc.) that your child completes. You can use this record to satisfy your local state officials if you are asked how you are educating your children or later decide to enroll your child in school. Your record of their work will let the school know what grade level to place your child.For more information, see our section on "Using eTAP." Q 6. Is eTAP’s program accredited?The State of California has reviewed our program and found it to be in compliance with their state standards. Each state, however, has their own system of approval. Most states have found eTAP's content satisfactory for homeschool use and some states are using it for their public school programs.
