    Rumor has it that some states (such as FL) will accept the accreditation and place the course along with the AoPS course grade on the child's transcript.

    Does anyone have California experience with this?

    We are in PA and our school has agreed to allow DS to take AoPS instead of regular math. DS takes the class at home in the evening and works on AoPS homework during the school day.

    Igbu/Portia/Others,

    Could you describe the process you went through to substitute AOPS for school math. Was the teachears/principals support enough?
