Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Get your parents to agree with your plans to homeschool. For some this may take convincing your parents that you can and are responsible. For others it will take a great deal of additional begging and pleading. If you want to convince your parents that you can be responsible for your own education, you need to be responsible in other areas first.
Step2
Draw up a plan. This is also useful for convincing your parents to let you homeschool. Get a copy of your transcript that shows what you have already done in high school. Find out from your state’s websites and/or colleges you hope to attend and find out what else you need to accomplish. Lay out a detailed plan and timeline for completing your high school degree.
Step3
Consider your budget. Homeschooling a high school student is more expensive than public school. Another reason you will need your parents approval. Determine which courses you can complete by just purchasing a textbook, writing a paper and doing a project, and which classes you will need a tutor or community college course to complete.
Step4
Stick to your plan. Teaching yourself at home take more will power, and self sufficiency that going to school. You have to be your biggest cheerleader, and police yourself as well. If you are a person who needs a great deal of cajoling and encouragement, you may want to find a different way to finish high school.

on 6/1/2008 I read about a senior who did this and went onto college afterwards. Yes, it can be done if the high schooler is self motivated and determined. The article I read was about a senior who was bored with school and found creative ways to homeschool himself. It worked for him, because he worked it.
