Use this chart separately, under each grade level to document what is done each year. This typically will fit on one sheet of paper. If you additional courses that can be listed, just use additional sheets to develop your completed transcript.
In addition to this, you can add a supplemental document to list extra information such as volunteer work, apprenticeship work, additional coursework above and beyond the “expected” courses.

PART 2: How to Calculate GPA (Step by Step)
Step 1: Assign Grade Points
Use this standard unweighted GPA scale:
| Letter Grade | Grade Points |
|---|---|
| A | 4.0 |
| B | 3.0 |
| C | 2.0 |
| D | 1.0 |
| F | 0.0 |
Step 2: Multiply Grade Points × Credits
Example:
| Course | Grade | Grade Points | Credit | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| English 9 | A | 4.0 | 1.0 | 4.0 |
| Algebra I | B | 3.0 | 1.0 | 3.0 |
| Biology | A | 4.0 | 1.0 | 4.0 |
| PE | A | 4.0 | 0.5 | 2.0 |
Total Quality Points: 13.0
Total Credits: 3.5
Step 3: Divide
GPA = Total Quality Points ÷ Total Credits
13.0 ÷ 3.5 = 3.71 GPA
Weighted GPA (Optional)
If you choose to weight advanced courses:
| Course Level | Add |
|---|---|
| Honors | +0.5 |
| AP / Dual Enrollment | +1.0 |
Example:
-
Honors Biology A = 4.5
-
AP English A = 5.0
➡️ Many homeschool families list both weighted and unweighted GPAs, or only unweighted unless a college requests otherwise.
