What’s your thought about a gifted/advanced kid to take English Comp (or World History) on Sophia or another service while at the same time completing the similar high school courses and then sit for the Sophia test around the time she has her final exam in the high school course?
English Comp I & II (WRITTEN COMMUNICATION)
Public Speaking (ORAL COMMUNICATION)
Intro to Ethics (ETHICAL DECISION-MAKING)
US History I or II (US HISTORY/GOVERNMENT)
Religion (GLOBAL UNDERSTANDING and NON-US HISTORY OR CULTURE)
Art History I or II or Visual Communication (LITERATURE & FINE ARTS)
Psych, Sociology, Microecon or Macroecon (SOCIAL/BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE)
College Algebra or Statistics (MATHEMATICS)
Environmental Science (NATURAL SCIENCES W/O LAB)
Then go back and take anything else you can fit in before the free deal goes away.
You should do your lab science at Study.com (BIO101L) because it's the cheapest option.
Our goal is our daughter to “accelerate” high school while earning credits to earn her associate’s degree probably from COSC when she graduates high school. We wonder if she can pull this off by using the sample strategy I noted, along with passing AP and CLEP tests plus taking college credit courses via dual enrollment (i.e., up to 30 credit hours with tuition and fees paid by the State of Georgia).
This website https://dualcreditathome.com/ has been a great help to figure out ways for a bright high school kid to earn college credit (principally through CLEP) and be way ahead in earning credits towards a degree very inexpensively. Surely, our goal is that our daughter earn her bachelor’s degree with little or no student loan debt. I hope we can pull it off!!!
