High School Diploma Program
In our fully accredited high school program, you will earn your credits to satisfy the requirements for graduation and achieve your diploma. An individual study plan and schedule towards completing a High School Diploma will be established for each student.
Students earn credit based on competency–that is, on work satisfactorily completed. not on seat time. This method often makes it possible for students to earn credits in less time than it would take in a traditional classroom program. Students work individually on each subject area. The majority of the communication will be one-on-one with the teacher, not lecture style.
A student is a high school graduate the day he/she completes the requirements. A graduation ceremony is held once a year in June to celebrate and award diplomas to all students who have completed their requirements in the previous school year. Learn More >
