Online high school????

Question

Has anyone ever done an online high school course? How does this work? Please explain everything to me in detail. Im interested in finishing my senior year online. I just have no idea how this works. Im in a totally different country right now. Is this possible for me to do this? Can someone please tell me how to start?

Answer 1

It's pretty easy. I would suggest Penn Foster. I'm currently in the program but I have a friend who finished and has been in college for 3 years. She didn't skip a beat by an online degree like most people would think. You can do it from anywhere in the world. It can be done all online, they ship things but you dont have to wait to receive them to start working. Which is good because it'd take a while shipping to another country, unless that country is canada. It'd take about a Month or so to receive the books in the mail I think. Good thing its all online :D Also it is accredited by the middle states commission for education.

It cost's about $1,200 which is cheaper than most, you can make monthly payments if you have to. I do. haha The only thing is you don't receive your diploma until you've paid in full, which is understandable.  They dont push religion and you can take a lot of college prep courses with them if you're planning on going. You can usually transfer credits you've already finished in high school to count toward your online credits. You need 21.5 to pass 17 are core and 5 are electives you choose from about 40 options randing from dress making, to auto mechanics, to geometry. They send you an elective pack to choose when you're half way through but you can be looking at them online or from your student hand book in the mean time.

You go to the site and sign up, get your credits transfered and everything then start completing tests in the order they tell you to on your special student account. they provide you with online. Theres 4-8 tests to finish each class. You can usually do 4 a day if you're really determined and you don't have anything else to do. The only thing is if you haven't paid in full you have to wait until your next course is marked as shipped to take the tests for that class. about 99% of the time you can be studying ahead of time because they give you the tests right away for most of the subjects. I'd say if you worked hard you could be finished in a month. You do learn though its no piece of cake.

Thats it. It's that simple. I hope this made sense. haha Good luck with whatever you choose to do!
