It’s December 11, and Indiana became a state on this date in 1816. Indiana is known for many things, including the annual Indianapolis 500 car race. In the Indy 500, cars go as fast as they can around the track, and the first car to complete 500 miles wins the race. During warmup and caution laps, a pace car leads the field around the track, and that reminded us that American School students love to work at their own pace in their accredited middle school courses or accredited high school courses. Our online middle school courses and online high school courses come with pacing guides to keep students on track, but as long as students complete all work according to the terms of their enrollment contract, they can work as quickly or slowly as they choose. It’s a main reason why students from Indiana and all across the country have chosen American School to be their distance education middle school or distance education high school, and we want you to make the same decision. Enroll now and you’ll be on the right track to earn a high school diploma at home!
