There could be a resource teacher at the home school just to address occasional computer or work space issues. There is also the online option. However, be aware of state laws and district rules/policies. For example, while lots of mathy kids in my state use AOPS courses, they cannot be used to satisfy credit requirements at the secondary level (grades 6-12) due to strict laws governing online providers in addition to the "certification" hurdle.

AoPS has acreditation from a Western Schools group I forget which now and it is one of its appeals to us. I am surprised to hear that your school is unaware of this.
