It’s December 7, and Delaware became a state on this date in 1787. In doing so, Delaware became the First State, a nickname it still has to this day. That got us thinking about the first distance learning middle school or distance education high school. No one really knows for sure which school holds those honors, but we can tell you that American School was the first distance learning school to be regionally accredited. We take our accreditation very seriously and today are accredited by MSA-CESS, Ai and NCPSA. When we were first accredited, we offered only high school correspondence courses, but now we offer online high school courses, middle school correspondence courses and online middle school courses. We are happy to offer courses for students in grades 6-12 and would be happy to serve you if you live in Delaware or any other state. Enroll today!
