You want an education pathway that respects your vision for home education and prepares your student for future success!
A pathway that...
✓ Puts you in control.
✓ Embraces learning needs and interests.
✓ Empowers you to limit or opt out of GCSE and A-Level testing.
✓ Is already recognized by universities and employers world-wide.
The educational pathway you want
is a U.S. transcript & diploma.
But, education in the United States is executed differently.
And that can make it confusing to know where to begin.
Hi, I'm Michele Holmes.
I founded Homeschool Directive to help parents just like you home educate your teens according to your values, goals, and vision.
30+ years ago, we came face-to-face with the limitations of traditional schooling and decided to home educate our children.
Not only did all of my eight kids have customised educations, they were prepared to pursue their after-graduation goals!
Over the years, I have been able to help hundreds of other parents do the same for their children and now I want to help you and your family!
Sounds great! Sign me up.
With our support, you can use the U.S. Transcript & Diploma pathway to keep your teen's future options open!

Homeschool Directive's Transcript & Diploma Requirements
When a student is enrolled in our program, they need to complete 30 credits in order to receive a U.S. Transcript & Diploma.
CREDITS are simply a way to quantify how much coursework has been completed in a educational category (e.g. English, Mathematics, etc.) over the course of high school.
High school is typically completed between ages 13-18 (this is the same educational period high school and college is completed in the UK).
You can think of credits like checkmarks. Each school requires students to have so many checkmarks for an educational category.
You can see in the image how Homeschool Directive's credit requirements are spread over the different educational categories.
We leave standardized testing up to the parent's discretion.
What if my teen has already completed some high school classes or testing?
No worries! We are able to take what your teen has already done and convert it into the U.S. model.
With the support of our US-based online program, you can customise your student's education while we guide you in jumping the hurdles you want to jump, even if that's for UK university acceptance!
We support the parent administratively
so they can focus on home educating their student without fear of messing something up.
Our commitment to you:
- We will be a partner with you and your teen in this home education journey.
- We will clearly communicate U.S. home education laws and graduation requirements and confirm you are in compliance.
