Hey, Maynard. Where's Dobby?

Calvert School used to have a good distance-learning course.

A few years ago, I met a family passing through on a beautiful Globe yacht,
about 55' long. They sold their electrical contracting business and moved
to Taiwan to watch and supervise the building of the yacht-of-their-
dreams....but that's another story.....(c;

Their two teenage sons were schooled at "home", both from Taiwan and at
sea, but a course setup by the University of Nebraska for Foreign Service
children around the world. This also gave them a great head-start into the
University world that provided the courses, tests, text, and ACCREDITATIONS
that made it official.

"Homeschooling and the High School Student

One school used by Foreign Service families is the University of Nebraska-
Lincoln program. It is a fully accredited program and the one on which the
homeschooling allowance for high schoolers has been calculated. A student
has to complete 5 courses (basically a year) through the school, combined
with other credits, to receive a diploma.

Both boys graduated with honors and moved on to graduate from university
with honors! Lucky boys in anyone's connection....raised on a yacht,
schooled on a yacht. I was jealous...(c;

The webpage is information on home schooling from the Dept of State for its
Foreign Service families....

Hope this helps.
