Note that an accredited program is no more or less valid than a non-accredited program in home school. Accreditation, by definition ought to apply to level of educational rigor, but in that it maintains that you are meeting the standards of a 3rd party, some of which are how many meetings and continuing education hours are accrued, rather than embracing the freedom of creating an educational plan that best suits your child and family.
The best thing you have going for you is if you graduate from home schoolers. College love home schoolers because while colleges are in the business of educating young people, they are not in the business of teaching self-government, socialization (yep, I just said that), time-management, and such.

I actually get the most comments from former students on how grateful they are for the Powerpoint and Excel skills when they get to college. If students haven’t done a thorough job of learning Office in middle school, they definitely need to include it in high school. I wouldn’t consider it a whole year’s worth of credit, though — more like a semester half credit that can join up with the above/below/other

LIBERTY UNIVERSITY ON LINE
LUOL is recognized in VA as a private academy according to the LUOL employee we talked with, but I have been unable to pin down any private school covering for SC home schoolers as they still consider you home schoolers which means that you must be covered by an accountability association.
The philosophy of LUOA is based on the premise that man’s ultimate purpose is to glorify God (Isaiah 43:7; 1 Corinthians 10:31). Thus, LUOA serves as an extension of students’ families to aid them in their God-given responsibility to educate their children for the glory of God (Psalm 78:5-6). LUOA exists to help students reach their full potential by guiding them in developing spiritually, morally, personally, socially, and academically (Luke 2:52; Colossians 1:9-10). The faculty and staff recognize that only when students accept Jesus Christ as Savior and yield to His Lordship can they realize their unique potential (Romans 10:10-13).
