GETTING
SCHOOL CREDIT IN VIRGINIA
|
|
If you want to get school credit
for completing Virginia homeschool courses, you have to hire a service to keep
records of all school courses that your children complete at
home. Since requirements vary from state to state, we
recommend using a service located within Virginia. Learning
Things can provide you with the materials which can be used
to qualify for credit in any state. However, Learning Things
does not verify that your student has completed the materials.
For that, you would need to hire a record keeping service. These services
are authorized by the state to keep records of your activities
and award your children with credits. To find a service in
your area, we recommend contacting any of the sources listed
above.
