We homeschooled both of our kids. The eldest took a GED pre-screening and
will have to spend a couple months on her math before taking the test.
The youngest, we used a correspondence course (from ICS) for high school. A
program equivalent to 4 years of high school, she finished over the course of
about 1.4 standard academic years (studying only half days), completing it
about 3 months after her 15th birthday.
