Get Spanish on Your Child’s Homeschool High School Transcript

Want to make sure that Spanish has a place on your child’s homeschool high school transcript? 

There are so many wonderful reasons to study Spanish. Speaking another language empowers you with new possibilities. In fact, high schools and colleges value world language so much that getting a high school diploma or a college degree usually requires a set number of world language credits. And Spanish is the top most sought-after language in the United States.

Keep reading to learn the ins and outs of including Spanish on your child’s homeschool high school transcript!

Homeschool High School Transcript: Why Include Spanish?

Languages involve reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Since a book can only do so much to teach a language, many parents of homeschooled high schoolers seek teachers, tutors, courses, or other methods to help their students properly advance in Spanish.

However, many methods of language learning (including apps, YouTube lessons, and immersion courses in Latin American countries) don’t provide credit. 

Although world language isn’t required for homeschoolers in most states, many colleges do expect incoming students to have at least two years of language study—and ideally more. Demonstrating genuine strength in a world language like Spanish is a big deal to admissions officers—and it opens the door to more job possibilities.

How can Homeschoolers Earn Spanish Credits?

For homeschool parents, securing a way to earn credit for language studies is key. But, how can you provide quality language education while earning credits?

Good news! It’s possible to earn high school credits on your own schedule and in the comfort of your own home! Even better, if you opt for an online course that includes audio or video conferencing and is geared toward developing crucial listening and conversational skills, your child will gain skills that are too often left out of the traditional high school curriculum. 

Here are three guidelines to earning world language credit as a homeschooled student:

1. Find quality curriculum and instruction
2. Ensure that the courses offer high school credit
3. Fit the world language learning materials and courses into your budget

If you are homeschooling on your own and developing your own coursework and transcripts for your child, the options for what qualifies as a year of high school Spanish are diverse. However, they may not be the best quality. The same goes for pre-approved language courses through charter schools.

Remember to check your state’s graduation requirements for world language classes. It’s also good to be aware of prerequisites expected by the college, university, or trade school your child is interested in attending after high school.

Benefits of Online High School Spanish Classes

Online high school Spanish courses are a great option for homeschooled and non-traditional students. Why? Check out the 4 perks below.

1. Flexible Schedule 

Setting your classes to be whenever is most convenient for you is one of the top benefits of self-paced study.

2. Personalized Classes

The level of your classes is based on your current skills. Placement exams may eliminate the need to take basic courses if you’re not a beginner. That’s great news for anyone who’s got some Spanish skills already.

3. Engaging Curriculum

If you are interested in online classes, make sure to do your research. Many great online sources exist where you can set up lessons with private online tutors, but some offer better curriculums than others. 

The resources available in online Spanish courses and academies often surpass what’s available in the typical high school classroom. Many courses offer intensive online study guides and other interactive options to enhance the quality and meaningfulness of their coursework.

4. Credits for Your Homeschool High School Transcript

Be aware that not all online Spanish programs offer high school credit. Online tutors may or may not have developed their own curriculum, and their classes may or may not be approved for credit by charter schools.

In summary, high-quality online Spanish courses are:

  • Flexible, allowing you to attend your lessons when it fits your schedule. 
  • Accessible, providing you access to your learning materials at all times 
  • Portable, equipping you with the ability to learn from the comfort of your own home or anywhere with a solid internet connection
  • More affordable than offline methods
  • More efficient than traditional classes that focus mostly on reading and writing.

Introducing Homeschool Spanish Academy’s High School Program

Most online Spanish courses are geared towards younger children, which is why many families end up choosing alternative programs to make sure their kids get high school credit.

One of the best, high-quality options for Spanish classes with credit is Homeschool Spanish Academy. We cater to children of every age, offer high school credits, and provide a downloadable curriculum to study at home. What’s more, we’re approved by numerous charter schools and do provide high school transcripts. 

The rates for online classes at Homeschool Spanish Academy are as low as $9.98 per class, depending on the package you purchase. The prices are super affordable for private classes, totaling $599 a year.

HSA gives students the opportunity to advance in their studies by learning at their own pace. If you already have the Spanish basics down, dive right in to the high school program! At the high school level, each lesson is 50 minutes long and integrates grammar and vocabulary with crucial conversation practice.

Why Choose HSA?

HSA aims to make the experience of learning Spanish effective and enjoyable for each student. Our online Spanish classes are delivered in a way that makes using Spanish in real life natural and fun! 

Homeschooling families have a ton of choices for online classes, but not many offer live, in-person Spanish tutoring. Having a real teacher to interact with during classes and tutoring sessions has a positive impact on the learning dynamic. 

Research suggests that frequent and natural conversations in Spanish not only reinforce your learner’s language skills, but also strongly improve motivation and engagement in the learning process.

At the end of each class, HSA teachers make notes for the next class and brainstorm ideas to help you succeed. They also schedule periodic meetings with you to talk about your progress in Spanish. It’s incredibly helpful to receive feedback and reflect on how much you are improving.
