    Overview

    American School is your school of choice, offering quality accredited middle school and high school courses in online and paper-based formats at a cost you can afford! Choose from full-year or full diploma programs or take individual courses for credit recovery or to enrich an existing homeschool program.

    For students in grades 9-12, American School offers a general high school diploma program and a college preparatory diploma program. Each program consists of 5 units of credit per year for a total of 20 units of credit required to earn a diploma. The general high school program is designed for students who wish to join the workforce or attend a community college after graduating from high school, while the college preparatory program is designed for students who plan on attending a four-year college or university after graduating from high school.

    For students in grades 6-8, American School offers a middle school program. Each year of middle school consists of 5 units of credit—1 each in English, math, science and social studies, plus an elective.

    Students in full-year programs for grades 6-12 can choose between online or paper-based courses, which ensures that they will learn in the course delivery method that is best for them. Curriculum is from some of the leading textbook publishers and curriculum providers, and all course materials are written to specific standards for a particular subject or grade level.

    Tuition includes all course materials, grading of exams, and access to the online student center, where students and parents and retrieve academic records, monitor course progress and receive additional assistance.  Monthly payment plans are available for students in full-year programs.

    Some students and families may be satisfied with an existing homeschool program but may wish to add courses for enrichment. Others may attend a traditional school but need to take individual courses for credit recovery.  For these students, American School is proud to offer its courses on an individual basis.  In addition to core subject areas such as English, math, science and social studies, American School offers elective courses in business, career and technical education; fine arts; and world languages powered by Rosetta Stone. 

    American School is accredited by MSA-CESS, Ai and NCPSA, recognized by its home state of Illinois, and has been a leader in distance education since 1897, serving students in all 50 states and more than 65 countries around the world.

    American School accepts enrollments year-round. Visit our website www.americanschool.org or call 708-418-2800. American School would be happy to count you among its students and graduates.
