Lumi High covers the academic core — it doesn't include a PE course. Here's how families actually earn physical education credit alongside it.
Start Free →If a family is looking for physical education inside Lumi High's course list, it isn't there. Lumi High covers math, English, science, and social studies across grades 9-12, and none of that lineup includes a PE or health-and-fitness course built into the app. That's worth saying plainly rather than implying otherwise — a student's PE credit needs to be arranged separately, the same way it does for a large share of homeschool families regardless of which academic curriculum they use, since PE is one of the subjects most commonly handled outside a single all-in-one platform.
The good news is that PE credit is also one of the easier subjects to document, because it doesn't require a textbook or a structured lesson sequence — it requires real physical activity and a record of it. Most states and most colleges care less about exactly how the activity happened and more about whether it happened consistently and was tracked.
There's no single national number here — PE credit requirements vary by state, and by the specific colleges a student may apply to, so this is genuinely worth checking against a family's own state homeschool guidelines rather than assuming a figure. A pattern many families use as a rough default is treating something like 120-150 hours of documented activity across a school year as one full credit, similar to how a daily PE class period adds up over a school year — but treat that as a starting point for research, not a rule.
A basic log works fine: date, activity, duration, and a one-line note. Doing this consistently for a semester or a year produces exactly what a transcript line needs — a credit value, a course title ("Physical Education" or something more specific like "Varsity Soccer" or "Martial Arts"), and enough documentation to back it up if ever asked. Since Lumi High's dashboard tracks the academic courses automatically, many families keep a simple separate log — a shared note, spreadsheet, or even a paper calendar — just for PE and any other subject the app doesn't cover, then combine everything into one transcript at the end of the year.
No. Lumi High covers math, English, science, social studies, and related academic courses by grade, but does not include a physical education course. Families need to arrange PE credit separately, the same way many homeschool families handle it regardless of which curriculum they use for academics.
Common paths include organized sports, structured activities like dance, martial arts, or swim lessons, and a documented independent fitness routine — logging regular sessions with duration and activity type over a semester or year.
Requirements vary by state and by the colleges a student is applying to. A common pattern is roughly 1 full credit across high school, but check this against the student's own state requirements rather than assuming a figure.
Generally yes — a homeschool parent awards credit based on real, documented activity, not the format it came in. A logged routine of regular physical activity is treated the same as an organized class for transcript purposes in most homeschool situations.
