Homeschool Transcripts: Not So Scary After All

Guess what? A Homeschool Transcript is just a piece of paper that “makes noise” and has print in Times New Roman 12 font; it’s just a regular paper with no notary on it! There’s nothing scary about it and you CAN do this at home!

Legalized Bragging

Homeschool TranscriptsThe thing you need to know about the transcript is that whenever you get around to making your child’s transcript, it will look good. Without a doubt, if you put it out in print, it will look good and you’ll be amazed that your child can look that good! The reason for this is that making a transcript is your chance to legally brag about your child! It’s your opportunity to express everything wonderful that they’ve ever done - things that you wouldn’t necessarily tell your friends because they might think that you are bragging.

Don’t Change Your Homeschool

The one thing that you need to know about transcripts is that they do look a bit foreign to us as homeschoolers. When I ask about your homeschool, you might talk about the visit to the pond, the nature study, and the great unit study that you’ve done together all about it. While these things can make up a wonderful education, they don’t make a lot of intuitive sense to colleges. Colleges think in terms of words and specific numbers. So you have to translate your wonderful homeschool work into the words and numbers that colleges understand.

What I don’t want you to do is to change your homeschool AT ALL. Do not change your homeschool because you begin homeschool at the high school level! You want to keep doing what you’re doing as long as it works. You’re going to translate that, not in German or Spanish, but into the love language of colleges that they’re going to understand. It’s easier than you think!
