Augusta K-12 Online Home School

Fort Eisenhower’s PCS rotation schedule, Augusta National’s year-round junior golf calendar, and the Medical College of Georgia’s shift-work culture create families whose schedules rarely match a standard district enrollment window. High School of America provides a full K-12 school: qualified teachers, counselor-tracked credits, and an official transcript on the family’s timeline.

Georgia’s home school framework requires one letter per year. The teaching, grading, transcript, and graduation belong to the school.

The process

How to homeschool in Georgia: what the process looks like

Most families start with the same question: what does the state actually require? Georgia’s home school statute requires one letter to the local district per year. The school handles everything after that.

01

Talk to a counselor

A counselor reviews grade level, prior coursework, and your family’s situation. Most K-12 online homeschool program questions are answered in under 20 minutes.

02

Enroll online

Takes about 15 minutes. No placement test required. The counselor reviews previous records and sets the starting grade level.

03

Coursework begins

Available within 48 hours. The counselor sends Declaration of Intent filing instructions for Augusta Richmond County filers at the same time.

Who enrolls in Augusta

Three Augusta families, one K-12 online school

Families come to K-12 online home school for different reasons. The same school works for all of them because the underlying structure (teacher instruction, counselor support, official transcript) stays constant while the schedule adapts.

MILITARY FAMILIES

The PCS transfer

Fort Eisenhower PCS orders don’t align with August enrollment windows. A family arriving in November enrolls in November. The counselor requests records from the prior school, places the student at grade level, and continues the transcript without a gap. The Georgia K-12 program doesn’t require the family to wait for a semester break.

JUNIOR GOLF

The year-round competitor

Augusta’s junior golf circuit runs twelve months. The student training for state qualifiers or working with a local academy needs coursework that loads around the range schedule, not the other way around. No required live sessions. No fixed class times.

MEDICAL CENTER FAMILIES

The 24-hour shift household

The Medical College of Georgia and Augusta University Health run schedules that don’t follow a school calendar. A resident’s family, a nurse working nights, or a technician on rotating shifts, the student’s school adjusts to the household’s reality.

What the school handles

Homeschool classes online: what the school teaches, what families manage

A common question from families comparing online home school options: what does the parent actually do, and what does the school handle? Georgia’s legal requirement belongs to the family. The academic work belongs to the school.

INSTRUCTION

A qualified teacher instructs and grades every course from kindergarten through 12th grade. No self-teaching. No workbook-only programs. Every subject has a teacher and a grade.

RECORDS

The school maintains the official transcript. Students present a school-issued transcript for college applications, military service, and employment. No parent-compiled portfolio required.

COUNSELOR

A counselor is assigned at enrollment and stays through graduation. For families navigating grade placement, course sequencing, or the transition from Augusta online high school options, the counselor is the single point of contact.

NEXT STEP

Every grade, K through 12.

Monthly enrollment. Counselor assigned same day. Coursework available within 48 hours.

Diploma and transcript

The homeschool diploma Augusta graduates receive

High School of America issues the Augusta homeschool diploma. The school registrar maintains the official transcript. Under O.C.G.A. § 20-2-690, Georgia does not issue a state diploma to students educated under the Declaration of Intent statute. The school diploma and transcript together serve as the graduation credential for college applications, military entry, and employment.

The 26-credit graduation pathway meets college-preparatory standards recognized across Georgia and nationally. Students applying to Augusta University, the Medical College of Georgia, and other institutions present the school-issued diploma and official transcript. A counselor tracks every credit from enrollment forward and provides a graduation audit at any point.
