We have researched a number of universities and so far none of them require a highschool diploma. Check the school's websites, there is usually a section for homeschoolers and what they are required to produce.
Agreed. And, adding to that, even if the website has requirements that sound overly restrictive do not assume that is the final word. The general rules on paper or on the website, often aren't written with these exceptional students in mind. And, if your student approaches the college/university with SAT or ACT scores that are extremely strong those general rules may not apply. By extremely strong I mean not just good for their age but significantly above the average incoming student.
Also, I would keep in mind that "ready for college level work" doesn't have to mean enrollment in college. May homeschoolers are ready for college level work years before they start taking college classes and they still find challenge.
