Part of homeschooling is being proactive, and colleges especially aren't going to cater to people. I've had some friends go through metrotech, it's a good deal for getting a program. However, he probably does not want to do a GED program, if he'd get his parents to register him as a homeschooler, there are a TON of homeschooling groups in OKC.<br><b>References : </b><br> He needs to go up to Metrotech and talk to a person, instead of waiting for a phonecall.

I use Penn Foster High School. It's a distance learning school. They send you your books in the mail and you complete them. Penn Foster is a private school, so it costs money. It's $900, but it's cheaper if you send them your transcripts. Since your friend dropped out, it is very unlikely that they will allow them back into the school system. Going to a community college to earn enough credits to go back to highschool will only slow your friend down even more. Distance learning is the way to go.<br><b>References : </b><br>You friend should register as a homeschooler because they are under the age of 18. www.hslda.org is the website where your friend will be able to find the laws for homeschooling in your state. It is very easy to homeschool in Oklahoma because they only require a student to do 180 days of school and the following subjects: Reading, writing, math, science, citizenship, U.S. constitution, health, safety, physical education, conservation Your friend should register with the the hslda.org website in order to homeschool. Now, for schools to look for. You can search by using the following words: distance learning, correspondence schools Some schools your friend might be interested in are: www.pennfosterhighschool.com Allied High School Laurel Springs High School KeyStone National High School These schools are very expensive, that it why I use Penn Foster. Since your state requires specific subjects, you will have to find a school that offers all of them. When you go onto a site, make sure to check the courses they offer and their tuition fees. I'm not sure if your state as a public online school, but you can check through the following sites. www.connectionsacademy.com www.k12.com You will still have to register as a homeschooler in your state to use these sites. Good Luck! Yeah, there are a few. I use Penn Foster High School. It’s a distance learning school. They send you your books in the mail and you complete them.

You don't just give up because a school didn't call back. That's kind of like calling a garage to find out the status of your vehicle and then looking to buy another car because they don't call back! Now, online schooling may still be preferable for him, but he should find out what is going on with MetroTech regardless. Have him look at the following: http://www.oklahomavirtualhighschool.com/ http://astec-inc.org/highschool.asp<br><b>References : </b><br> He needs to call the place again; there could have been some mix up, he didn’t fill his phone number in correctly, it didn’t get typed into the database correctly… You don’t just give up because a school didn’t call back.

The first one is a broker for several online High School and college courses that can be taken online. All are acredited so the credits would transfer to any high school and are accepted by by all major trade schools, colleges and universities when he wants to apply there.<br><b>References : </b><br> Absolutely,
