High school and college helps:

My research led me to three schools that allow you to choose your own curriculum: Homelife Academy, Crossroads Christian School, and NARHS (North Atlantic Regional High School).

From BOB JONES UNIVERSITY:
What a good transcript should have:

1. A history of the subjects studied
Use titles that are clearly understood.

2. The level of subjects studied (by grade, if possible) Example: English 9, English 10, etc.

3. Unit assignments for each subject studied
A unit is defined as five 45 minute periods each week for 36 weeks. Usually academic subjects such as English, math, science, etc. are assigned one unit per year, while non-academic subjects such as home economics, physical education, music, etc. will be assigned either one/fourth or one-half unit.

4. An assignment of level of quality
Most will use a grading scale of A, B, C, D and F
If another scale is used, include an explanation of the grading scale. Example: A=94-100; B=87-93, etc.

We do not recommend the use of a pass/fail system.

5. Clear explanations of any special considerations or variations
if ACE or AO use Pace or LifePac numbers.

6. An identification of all extracurricular activities.

7. The results of all standardized testings
We ask all students to take the American College Test (ACT).

8. A graduation date

That's a pretty impressive stat there on the homsechooling. I hope it continues to grow even faster, especially among Christians.
