You can’t homeschool but you plan for him to skip classes and go to the college for class? I think you’re missing the point here, if you designate yourself as homeschool he can take whatever classes he wants. He can do 2 classes at MCPS. If you can find a way to get him to college for DE you can find a way to homeschool.

Your child cannot "just graduating high school at 10th grade". For MCPS to pay for MC dual enrollment courses, your child needs to be enrolled in MCPS. What your child can do is enroll in MC courses and MCPS will accept them for credit.
In order to qualify for dual enrollment, your child must meet the requirements for MCPS graduation. I believe the 75 SSL hour requirement has to be completed as well as having a 2.75 GPA. There maybe some other requirements as well.
Your child still needs to meet all the MCPS requirements in order to obtain their HS diploma. If your child still needs social studies, science, or completer requirements, they will need to select courses that meet these requirements. This is the dual enrollment cross reference spreadsheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10ioH1EHiOHwCyEZsm7caNYS_A5avqM23PWoKTFvW0tk/edit?pli=1&gid=0#gid=0
They will need to take 2 semesters of English to account for English 11 and English 12.
Thank you. I know a MCPS student who graduated early at the end of her 11th grade year, and it didn't make a lot of sense to me, as then, since she's no longer a MCPS student, she'd have to pay for college vs getting it for free through dual enrollment, no? So, this doesn't seem like a smart path for us to take, but you don't know what you don't know, which is why I ask.![]()
Thanks for the info. Yes, SSLs are no worries, as they'll be done by July.
He's in the accelerated curriculum for math, ELA, etc, but I want to be sure we're making smart choices for his electives. Thanks.![]()
