Graduation requirements in New Hampshire

New Hampshire does not issue homeschool diplomas, so as the parent-administrator you set the graduation requirements and award the diploma yourself. A common college-prep plan covers 4 years of English, 3–4 of math, 3 of science, 3 of social studies, 2 of a foreign language, plus electives — typically around 24 credits total. Check any New Hampshire-specific expectations for your situation, and align with the admissions requirements of the colleges your student is targeting.

Credits and GPA

A standard high-school credit (a Carnegie unit) represents roughly 120–180 hours of instruction in a subject over the year, or about a full-year course. Half-credit courses are common for semester-long electives. Track grades per course and compute a weighted or unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale. Our free GPA calculator can do the math, and Homeschool Fox tracks credits and grades for you as you log coursework.

Testing and assessment

New Hampshire requires one annual evaluation. You can use a certified teacher's written evaluation, a standardized test with a composite at or above the 40th percentile, or another method mutually agreed on with the participating agency — results stay with the family.

Building a college-ready transcript

Selective colleges expect a clean, professional transcript listing courses, credits, grades, and GPA, often alongside a school profile and course descriptions. You can build one in New Hampshire yourself — a standard transcript is included with Homeschool Fox, and the $29 official transcript add-on generates AI-drafted course descriptions and a school profile that admissions readers expect.

Keeping records through high school

Keep coursework, reading lists, grades, and work samples organized from 9th grade on — reconstructing four years at application time is painful. New Hampshire also has assessment or portfolio expectations to plan around, so consistent records do double duty for both college applications and state compliance.
