<p>My (nonhomeschooled) son took courses with EPGY and the University of Kansas distance program. He did the EPGY because he finished BC Calculus in 9th grade and wanted to continue with math for three more years. We happened upon the Kansas program because he needed/wanted a course in a particular subject that was unavailable at his school.</p>
<p>As far as how colleges viewed these courses, I don’t know. Stanford didn’t admit my son and his ultimate college wouldn’t give him credit for the math (although he was able to skip those courses). </p>
<p>My recommendation would be to use google and find distance classes in those areas where they would offer something you can’t. A number of colleges offer programs – wouldn’t your instate colleges be inclined to accept things from another state’s public university?</p>
<p>For my homeschooled daughter, she took a correspondence course each year with an Egyptologist or ancient historian; these generated no letter grades but it did make her transcript more distinctive and gave her a nice recommendation in her field and some evaluated work product. She also took some courses in the summer program of a college. This was all the outside validation she needed.</p>
<p>You could have her take AP courses from PAhomeschoolers. With a good test score at the end, I can’t imagine a school thinking there wasn’t sufficient verification of what was done.</p>
<p>Other alternatives – SAT IIs, CLEPs, self-study for APs, community college courses, etc. No one size fits all.</p>
