It's January 14, and television producer Mark Goodson was born on this date in 1915.  Before he died in 1992, he produced some of television's greatest game shows, many of which are seen in reruns to this day.  In today's blog we're going to go through some of them and tell you how the title of the game show relates to your experiences as an American School student.  The first is Beat the Clock, and once you become an American School student, you won't have to worry about beating the clock.  You can work at your own pace in our accredited online high school courses, high school correspondence courses, online middle school courses or middle school correspondence courses.  The only clock you'd have to beat is completing your courses within the terms of your enrollment contract.  Next is Match Game, and after you enroll in full years of middle school or high school, we will match you with the courses of your choosing.  Another game show is Password, and you'll get a password to log into our Online Student Center to review your grades and receive help.  Mark Goodson also produced The Price is Right, and you can get a great education at a great price after you enroll with us.  Finally, we have To Tell the Truth, and our 122 years of credibility is proof that we run an honest business and always tell our students the truth.  Put yourself in the game and enroll with us.  We'd love to have you as our student!    

It's January 3, and Alaska became a state on this date in 1959.  We've attended conventions in our 49th state several times because many students there take our high school correspondence courses, online high school courses, middle school correspondence courses and online middle school courses.  Alaska is such a huge state that often schools are great distances from people's homes.  It's easier for families to have school come to them rather than brave snow and cold to attend school an hour away.  We're happy to serve those students.  No matter where you live, we offer accredited courses at an affordable cost, and we'd love to have you as our student.  Enroll today!

It's December 26, and countries all around the world are observing Boxing Day.  No one knows for sure how Boxing Day got its name, but one theory is that, on the day after Christmas, people would give boxes of gifts to needy service workers in their towns.  Over time, like many other holidays, Boxing Day turned commercial.  It's one of the biggest shopping days of the year in countries like Canada, Great Britain and Australia, and, even in the United States, today is a big shopping day because many people return Christmas gifts.  One thing nobody should ever want to return is a quality education like the one offered by American School.  We have a strong curriculum of high school correspondence courses, online high school courses, middle school correspondence courses and online middle school courses, and we offer them at a very affordable cost.  Our tuition also includes all study materials, grading, access to the online student center, and much more, and monthly payment plans are available for many students.  You can still make the holiday season one to remember by enrolling today.  We'd be happy to serve you!

It's December 13, and George Gershwin's An American in Paris was first performed on this date in 1928.  Since we know that many Americans live in Paris or elsewhere outside the United States, today's blog will be about enrolling with us if you do not live in the United States.  If you live outside the United States and want to take online middle school courses or online high school courses, you will not have to pay any additional shipping charges.  On the other hand, if you live outside the United States and want to take middle school correspondence courses or high school correspondence courses, you will have to pay the cost of shipping study materials to your home country.  Keep in mind that costs will vary depending upon how many paper courses you take and where you live.  Each country has its own shipping rates and customs policies, so you may have to pay to cover customs charges as well.  No matter where you live, we'd be happy to serve you, so get started and enroll today.   

Today's blog remembers the day that will live in infamy–December 7, 1941.  On that day 78 years ago tomorrow, Pearl Harbor was attacked.  We've said countless times over the years how visiting historic places can make your online middle school courses, middle school correspondence courses, online high school courses and high school correspondence courses come to life.  There is no better place to experience history than Pearl Harbor.  If you go there, you may even be fortunate enough to visit with one of the survivors of the events of 78 years ago.  We thank them and all members of the military for their service in keeping our country safe.  No matter where you might be tomorrow, we encourage you to keep track of anniversary events by going here and here.    

It's December 3, and Illinois became a state on this date in 1818.  We've been in business in Illinois for more than half of the state's 201-year existence because we moved here in the early 20th century.  Back then we only offered high school correspondence courses and some trade courses, but over the years we evolved and now offer online high school courses and print and online middle school courses.  As a non-public school located in Illinois, we get visited by the Illinois State Board of Education every so often to ensure our school and services are up to standard.  We are anticipating our next visit will occur in 2020, and we look forward to welcoming the ISBE at that time.  In the meantime, we are happy to be located in Illinois and happy to serve students in all 50 states.  We would like to serve you as well.  Enroll today!
