Today’s Special Occasion: Alaska Day

by | Oct 18, 2021 | New Blog

It’s October 18, and today is Alaska Day in our 49th state because on this date in 1867 the United States took possession of the Alaska Territory from Russia. Alaska would not become a state until 1959, but American School has had a big presence in Alaska for decades. Alaska is the largest state by area by a wide margin, but it is far from the most populated state. Families can live great distances from schools, and traveling to school at any length can be difficult during Alaska winters. That’s why so many schools and families have made American School their school of choice. We offer accredited middle school courses and accredited high school courses which students can do anywhere. We know that internet is sometimes spotty in rural areas, and that is one reason why we continue to offer middle school correspondence courses and high school correspondence courses. Of course we are happy to offer online middle school courses and online high school courses too because we like giving students the ability to choose the course delivery method that works best for them. We are happy to have many students in Alaska who are celebrating their state holiday today, but we are happy to serve students in any state and any country as well. Make today a day to celebrate by enrolling with American School. We look forward to having you as our student and graduate.

Homeschooling has taught me a lot of new things. It has taught me self-discipline and made me take my studies more seriously than before. I have learned to study properly. The books and materials were very helpful. It is a fun experience to do homeschooling. Many people are amazed to know that I did homeschooling. This has opened and changed a lot of people’s minds.

American School has more to offer than any public school. Two of my children, two of my grandchildren, and one niece completed their high school education with American School, and my sister and I are enrolled at the present time.

– Marilyn from Missouri

I learned a lot, and the skills are helping me in my college classes.

The most important thing I learned was how to schedule my time and organize my work. The study guides helped to show me how much work to do at one time. I’m glad to be part of American School.

I have found the methods, instruction, textbooks, study guides and service satisfactory because they are all up-to-date and made ready for me to learn. I am greatly thankful for this service because now I can graduate early with all my credits in. Thank you very much, American School!

American School was an easy yet efficient way to earn the extra credit I needed to graduate.

– Elizabeth from Illinois

I greatly enjoyed American School. The instructors’ comments were very helpful. I enjoyed this method of learning. I feel I have learned a lot more than I did in public school. I was able to keep up with school through all the moves I made without going through the hassle of switching school systems. I enjoyed the honesty of the

instructors and the overall program. I will recommend American School to anyone interested.

Founded in 1897, American School later became the first correspondence school to become regionally accredited.
