I schooled my kids from home through a public online charter school that used the K12 curriculum. The lessons allow students to move through content at their own pace and my D did two years of math in the year she stayed home. It prepared her well for the time management and self-teaching aspects of college but there are no grades or rankings.

Because we did it through the state school system we didn’t have to pay for the lessons, supplies, books, etc. (in fact they mailed us a check to pay for high speed internet and a computer to use) and we also had teachers that reviewed progress, set up field trips and held online class sessions with a white board. When she went back to traditional public they took the credits and moved her up in the classes she had worked ahead in. The online public k12 school even offers college credit plus (dual enrollment). http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/local-education/mechanicsburg-teen-track-get-college-degree-year/jNdcQ01iZP4jrGHasmxBEK/ If your state will pay for it, the k12 program worked well for us and might be a good option depending on your circumstances

If your state doesn’t offer a public version, there is also a private international academy. One of the things I liked about k12 was the parent network which might help you make connections while overseas with families that are also schooling from home.
