Can my student earn credits prior to 9th grade?
Yes! Starting too early to award credits may be frowned upon, but certainly in the 7th-8th grade credits can be earned.
Can my student just take the GED/TASC & finish prior to age 18?
Students who are in 9th grade or below at the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year will be subject to compulsory school attendance until they reach the age of 17. Parents homeschooling these children are therefore required to comply with West Virginia Code § 18-8- 1(c) (the homeschool law) until each child turns 17. More information can be found at Need the GED/TASC.
Can my high school student participate in public school sports?
No. WV sports are under the West Virginia Secondary School Association Commission (WVSSAC), therefore sports are under that entities rules.
