A high-schooler taking actual college courses for credit that counts toward both a diploma and a degree.

Through a community college or online program, dual enrollment lets a teen earn college credit while still homeschooling. It's a way to add rigor, show college-level work on a transcript, and sometimes shave time and cost off a future degree. Eligibility and how credits transfer vary by college and state. About Time's transcript tools record these alongside your home courses.
