will i loose high school credits when transferring to a private school from a public school?

It really depends on the two schools. Some schools have different history and science classes in different grades in high school. My son's (very rigorous) private school does Physics & Chemistry in 9th, Biology and Lab (2 periods) in 10th, Adv. Chemistry in 11th, and Adv. Physics in 12th. His friend's Catholic school has Biology in 9th, Chemistry in 10th, and Physics in 11th or 12th, they don't require 4 years, like my son's school does. So you can see how curriculum can differ. The local public school curriculum is similar to the Catholic school. The best thing to do is to look at the curriculum on the Catholic school's website and compare it to what you've taken. If they don't have it on the website, call and ask.

You're usually better off if you don't transfer mid-year so you will have credit for a full year class. If there is a discrepancy, you can take the class during summer school. If the school you are transferring into is more rigorous, they may not accept some classes if they find that you don't do well on a placement test.

You may need to take religion classes, depending on how many credits you need to graduate. In the good Catholic schools in my area, students need as many religion credits as they do English credits to graduate. Depending on your grade, they may make an exception, or may have you make up classes during study hall or summer school. Most of the kids I know in Catholic school are not Catholic but they find the religion classes interesting. (Catholic schools cost half as much as non-religious private schools in my area, and they accept a wide range of students, whereas the non-religious private schools tend to take only the top students.)

The only way to know for sure is to check it out for that specific Catholic school. Catholic schools can vary, so if you're applying to more than one, check out their curriculum. But overall, it shouldn't be that big a deal.

Good luck!

the only people who can answer that properly are the college directors. each and each college district has its own regulations related to this; some (not many) will settle to your transcript, some would have your pupil attempt for placement and credit, and a few will in simple terms decline any and all homeschool credit (permitted or not) and make the pupil initiate back at 9th grade. Please comprehend that despite their coverage is, it has honestly not something to do with despite if his credit are permitted or not...it has to do with despite if or not they settle for homeschool credit of any variety. i've got easily in no way heard of a school accepting permitted homeschool credit yet not non-permitted ones...they the two settle for them or they don't.

Yeah, you get killed going from Catholic to public, but not normally the other way around.

Generally, Catholic Schools are much more willing to transfer in credits than public schools. Exotic classes might not come over if there isn't something comparable offered at the Catholic school. So for instance, most of your regular classes will come over fine, but something like marketing or Japanese, that you can take at a public school, might not come over. One more thing. You may end up taking an extra Theology class as some schools require a certain number of years of Theology. Honestly though, after study hall these are definitely the easiest classes you will take in HS.

You confuse "loose" with "lose". I think you don't deserve your English credit.

Anyways, why don't you ask the school. Since you know how to use a computer, email them. We aren't the administrators of the school. We don't even know what state/province you are in. How would we know what the guidelines are?
