2022 in Review

by | Dec 27, 2022 | New Blog

It’s December 27, and we are back after a few days off due to weather and the holiday. As 2022 draws to a close, it’s a good time to look back at some of the accomplishments and achievements of the past year. Certainly one of the biggest happened just 10 days ago when we celebrated our 125th anniversary as a leading distance education middle school and distance education high school, but that wasn’t the only major accomplishment of the past year. We improved our curriculum of online middle school courses, online high school courses, middle school correspondence courses and high school correspondence courses by releasing new courses or revising others. We added more employees to serve students in our accredited middle school program, accredited high school program and independent study program, and we released a new student handbook to keep our students informed about our policies and procedures. Those are just three of our many accomplishments in 2022, but our biggest accomplishment has been serving students from across the country and around the world. Our students’ accomplishments and achievements make us most proud, and we are happy to serve them if they are homeschool students who wish to earn a high school diploma at home or if they are students at a resident school who take a course for credit recovery. Thank you for being a part of our story in 2022, and we look forward to an even better 2023!

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!

– Ada from Michigan

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.

As a not-for-profit institution, American School puts students’ educations first. Our tuition is affordable—much lower than many other distance education and online high schools—and all textbooks and study materials are included at no additional cost. Monthly payment plans are available for students in full years of American School’s middle school or high school program.

Caring Student Service

When students are accepted at American School, they not only receive interesting curriculum at a reasonable cost from a pioneer in distance education; they also receive outstanding, caring student service. Students may enroll anytime and work at their own pace. Help is available from American School staff during business hours and around the clock in American School’s Online Student Center.

Credibility

Founded in 1897, American School later became the first correspondence school to become regionally accredited. Today we are accredited by three reputable accrediting bodies and recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education as a non-public high school. American School’s diploma is accepted by colleges and universities, and thousands of high schools use our courses for credit recovery.
