Can anyone tell me the best site for high school homeschooling? My daughter is going to be in 12th grade & only needs 4 courses.

Thanks!

If you have not home schooled before, why are you consider doing it now.

If they finish with their regular school next year they will grad with their friends and have a dipolma from a regular school. ** while nothing wrong with home school, but it does make a few things harder in the future.
Those issues being cleared up though court cases but still.

Next do you want a religious based education for home school ( majority are)

And next where do you live, each state has its own laws on the rules of home schooling.

But it can be as easy as picking a book on each of the four subjects have them study, give them a test and say they are done.

Do you want a program where they school supplies materials and grades the tests ?

We do not have a local Catholic High School & we have had our daughter in a Christian School that is showing us the Christian way or teachings. Most of the students are leaving so we have decided to homeschool. My daughter is looking to finish so that she can start at the community college.

Any suggestions?

Thanks & God Bless! :)

There are many homeschooling programs out there. You must know that they aren't actually considered homeschooling but rather brick and mortar schools in your home with a distant overseer, your child's assigned teacher.
