My memory is telling me that there's typically some type of cooperation agreement with a local community college to get started.
and one of those popped up in my news today.... https://www.wbrc.com/2021/08/06/15-year-...-same-day/
That's one way to do get associates at same time as finishing high school and then onto brick and mortar university to finish bachelors. That seemed to involve all brick and mortar schools. And the key thing was that this scholar knew her goals. Not all ninth graders do and that's ok.
I'm also seconding the idea of learning some strategies from the website "homeschooling for college credit" hs4cc. Plenty of information there that helps with the unique part of high school in the mix. you might like to use this link from the "start here" section of that website https://homeschoolingforcollegecredit.co...nning-101/
Another resource out there is a free video course called The College Degree Roadmap, offered by dual credit at home (DCAH). https://dualcreditathome.com/college-degree-roadmap/
While that video course is currently free, DCAH is geared for homeschooling and the paid side of their stuff is lesson plans for getting high school diploma through legal homeschooling and then heavy on testing options to get degree from Charter Oak. I think it's expensive with their lesson plans and not always needed. but the free video course is helpful for degree planning information.
