There are two times that homeschooling parents most often seem to doubt themselves – at the start of their homeschooling journey, and then the high school years.
Calculating credits can seem tricky at first glance, especially to a family not using a school-at-home method. Take heart, though! It’s much easier than you might think. 😉

Also VERY important to use one’s state HOMESCHOOL law, NOT the state’s public school graduation requirements. Unless a homeschool law says the public school regs should be followed (and I don’t know of any state that does so), the public school requirements should be completely ignored, as they are literally useless. As you know, there’s never a good reason to use anything related to public school as our measure. 😉
I’m not on Instagram but another option we’ve used is projects. For example, my kids designed scrapbooks for both their American and world history credits – where they wrote short summaries for a pre-determined number of topics/events (which we revised and edited before “publishing”) and designed a scrapbook page to go with each. We did these the old-fashioned way (a physical scrapbook) but it could be done on a blog as well (which could be turned into a physical book at the end). And for literature, we have always done readers’ workshop – https://www.viewsfromtheroadhome.org/2018/08/fostering-your-older-kids-love-of.html. My kids chose a book review blog but doing other projects would have been even more fun, IMO. 😉
