[quote=Anonymous]I think this is a great plan.

7 AP courses is awful; so much busy work for a standardized test, versus an actual college course where you learn through inquiry etc. And in regular college, 4 classes is a full load, nobody takes 7 college classes at a time! Honestly if she has to stay in high school, I would drop some of the AP classes and just take the tests at the end of the year.

So, to the naysayers—almost nobody has a high school diploma when they apply to college. What you have to do is show the colleges that your daughter is on track to graduate by December/next June. To do this, you will have to work with your high school to take the courses needed for a basic high school diploma. Probably English 12 and US Government are the big stumbling blocks.

If your daughter tells the high school she is thinking of dropping out, this may motivate them to come up with a plan for her to graduate. To get an English 12 credit, English 101 at the community college, US Government, Political Science 101, etc.

Alternately, there are some colleges that have early college programs. Look at smaller women’s colleges. For example, Mary Baldwin: https://marybaldwin.edu/early-college/
