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
The 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! Learn more about transcripts at www.TheHomeScholar.com or check out my Total Transcript Solution to help you create,
