High School Diploma Programs

Empowering Learners with Globally Recognized Education K12 Schools is proud to offer two distinct U.S. High School Diploma pathways designed to meet the diverse academic needs of students. Both programs are aligned with our status as a Candidate for Accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), one of the most respected accrediting bodies in the world. This candidacy signifies our commitment to delivering high-quality, globally accepted education.

Our diploma programs serve students across different stages of their academic journey, from early high school learners to older students seeking a second chance at formal education. No matter the path, our goal remains the same: to equip learners with strong academic foundations, global competencies, and access to higher education opportunities.
