Independent study high school math courses?
Pennfoster.edu Thats the schooling I go through I think you should do it you get your diploma, They mail you the books, You read, And then you go online & you enter in the exam number, and then you fill in the questions online after you did them in your workbook. It's very simple as far as the whole process goes, And you learn alot. It's a VERY good program. I highly recommend it!!
Online Highschool Diploma Courses?
Hey Jeff, I am not sure why "Online Degree Talk" gave you a list of colleges and not online high schools. There are some very good online high schools and Lincoln Academy is one of them. My daughter did their online program and earned her high school diploma through them. Me and my husband did quite a bit of research on almost every single online high school. Here is what we found: - Lincoln Academy is by far the most popular/well-known online high school - There are a few scams out there. Be sure to AVOID (Nation High School & Madison Falls) - Excel High Schools customer service was pretty bad but got better as we talked more often to them We talked to a bunch of other schools as well but Lincoln Academy was by far the best choice for our daughter. They had the best customer service and they were very, very flexible when it came to making payments on our daughters tuition. I hope our research helps you out like it helped our daughter.
Can you take college courses without a high school diploma or a GED?
Not normally. You can if you are a currently enrolled high school student through the concurrent enrollment program. Some community colleges have a program where you can finish your high school diploma and associate’s degree at the same time, but you said you don’t want to pursue a degree. You can audit a course but you won’t get credit if you want to pursue a degree later.You can see if your community college has continuing education classes. These are non-credit classes that people take just out of interest. Usually they are things like painting, drawing, creative writing, photography, etc. You can usually take these without having a diploma or GED. If you’re looking for growth though, why not just take GED classes and get your GED?
Online High Schools? (Keystone?)?
ah don't listen to them...online school is great. I did keystone last year and I actually found it rather easy. It was also a little expensive. I recomend http://www.iqacademy.com/ if you live in one of those states listed its great. Free tuition and laptop if you need one. But it is very interactive and you have great teacher support. It is actually keystones sister school. That is how i found out about it and then this year that is what i switched to. (from keystone last year). I like it much better and find it more helpful and challenging! Hope this helps! Best of luck to you!
Taking Online classes in highschool. Good or Bad?
Well it doesn't look bad to colleges, as look as you have a high school diploma, because once you go to college you can take your course online also. The only thing about taking your schooling online is that there is no one to tell you when to study and when to stay on track. I am taking my whole nursing degree online, and that is the biggest trouble is that I can go whenever I want so that means I can also not go whenever I want. If you think that you can stay on track then go for it. Now talking to your parents, defintely get all of the information first, the good, the bad and everything else. Go to your counselor and talk to him (or her) and they will help you get prepared to talk to your parents. When you do have all of the information, that is when you set down with your parents about this, don't do it whenever anyone is in a bad mood, or not wanting to listen. And brace yourself they will probably say no 20 times but if you stick with it and explain to them in a mature way all the reasons why you want to do this then they should say yes. Also listen to what they have to say, find out why they would say no or even yes. Also is this a GED program or a real high school, that may also be able to make a difference. You can also throw in that you would be able to help around the house a little bit more. Most importantly tell them that this program would help to prepare you for college because there is no one to keep you on track either. Hope this helps, and remember talk to your parents and let them talk to you, if you stay mature and show that you have thought this though then hopefully everything will go as planned. Good Luck.

Can I take online classes for high school to skip a grade?
Yes!My high school had a minimum number of credit hours necessary to graduate. This number varies by school, but I was lucky enough to attend just before they raised the minimum.During my junior year, I enrolled in online classes through my local community college through a dual enrollment program. Signing up was as easy as talking to my counselor and filling out a few forms at the college.I also had to attend a before-school gym class at 6:00am every day to meet my PE requirement. Not everything can be taught online. More than likely, you will run into this problem as well. You may have to sacrifice a summer, winter break, or that extra hour of sleep.It was a huge amount of work, but my ultimate goal was to leave high school ASAP. If you’re looking for an easy way out of high school, this method is not for you. Remember, you’re not just skipping a grade - you’re completing it early! This condenses your years spent at the school, but also gives you more time to attend college, volunteer, sign up for internships, etc. (It also looks pretty snazzy on a college application!)I don’t regret doing this one bit. Since I did this through a community college, the dual enrollment courses I took during high school counted towards a degree at my local college. Right now, I could be a senior in high school, and I already have an associate’s degree. Also, I got the classes at a huge discount because I was a high school student. It’s a great deal if you have a local college that offers this.It doesn’t take brains. It takes commitment. The hardest part is signing up. You’ll have a lot of homework but in the long run you get an entire extra year for yourself. Contact community colleges in your area to see what they can offer you! Your high school may have other programs for getting ahead. Not every school is happy to see students graduating early, mind you, so you may have to maneuver through some annoying counselors and papers. Talk to someone who will encourage you.PS: My school’s credit requirement meant that I did not need to take every class I’d miss as a senior. It was mostly specific courses for graduating and meeting the credit minimum. So you may luck out and actually have to take fewer courses overall by completing them through a dual enrollment program!I hope this shed some light on one method you could use. Good luck!
How do colleges view online high schools?
Where you go to high school actually matters a lot in college admissions. One factor admissions offices use to determine your "file" is the strength of your high school's curriculum. It's important that whatever online program you're doing is not only accredited, but is well-regarded academically. However, that doesn't mean that students who go to academically rigorous high schools can skate by with C's and think they'll be a shoe-in at the more selective colleges. Grades are priority number 1, and you're in a good place if your GPA is "near-perfect."Another thing admissions people like to look for is how much you take advantage of the opportunities around you. Obviously when you're going "solo" in an online program you have to go out of your way to find after school programs, extracurriculars, or community service opps since no school is offering them to you. It's important that you spend time figuring out what you enjoy doing and how to build in some much-needed "social" time within those extra-curriculars if you go down the online learning path. On the note of finding high school "unchallenging" - perhaps you could do "dual enrollment" at a community college and take some more advanced classes? Another thing you could do is to use your extra time to find an internship or a company willing to let you "job shadow." So the big takeaway: No, an online high school won't automatically make you a less competitive applicant as long as it's a "legit" program and you make the extra effort to peruse activities you care about offline. Oh, and keep those grades up ;-)
Can I go to college without a high school diploma?
Can I go to college without a high school diploma?Provisionally, yes. If you mean that you dropped out of high school and never got a diploma or a GED, then a community college may accept you after you take placement tests to determine what your academic level is. What program you are accepted into will depend on the specific requirements for that program: for example, you must have a high school diploma/equivalent to get into nursing, but not necessarily to get into auto maintenance. They will definitely take you into the adult GED programs to allow you to finish your high school studies. Once you do that, having a GED allows you a chance at attending a four year college and opens up pretty much all the rest of the programs. Check with the counselors at the college you want to attend to see how you should go about getting started. Don't forget to fill out your FAFSA to see if there's any free financial aid you qualify for.If you're asking about taking college classes without finishing high school because you're still in high school, then that's a different kettle of fish. You will likely still need to take placement tests or prove you have completed certain courses (maths, English, and sciences), but the restrictions on which programs you can start taking classes is sometimes waived. Speak to your high school counselors to get information on programs that may pay for those courses (and textbooks!) for free.
