U.S. Department of Education considers a degree as a high school equivalency

If that really is the case, maybe go on a nice 2-4 hour road trip across the US border and take the GED here since it seems like you’re considering US schools. You can pass the GED with 145/200 and even get college credits if you get over 175/200. I went to a public middle and high school in Asia where the most important subjects were Math and English. After I transferred back at 12th grade, I was told a week before graduation that I needed to make up 25+ classes so I decided to get a GED instead. So with US public school 7th grade level science and social studies, I got:

187 Social studies (3 lower level credit hours in humanities)
181 Math (3 lower level credit hours in College Algebra)
190 Science (3 lower level credit hours in natural and physical sciences)
166 Reasoning through Language Arts (0 credit hours)

Additionally, you technically need a high school diploma or equivalent to apply for the Pierpont BOG. They just don't ask for one if you are transferring in a certain amount of credit so this is something you should keep on the downlow if you do go this route.
"This degree program is open to any student who has graduated from high school two or more years prior; students who earned a High School Equivalency Exam Certificate are welcome to enroll if their assigned graduating class has been out of high school two years or more." https://www.pierpont.edu/academics/assoc...governors/
Yes, I am aware of the Pierpont requirements. So far, my college applications have been a success with not asking for a diploma and in the SNHU application, it requires attestation of completion or current enrollment in high school and I emailed them and they exempted me from that.

I didn't bother with any other schools that require attestation, only SNHU as I'm aware they admit like pretty much anyone
