It’s January 19, and author Edgar Allan Poe was born on this date in 1809. He is best known for writing spooky and scary stories such as “The Raven” and you can read his works in our Literature 3: Selected American Classics course. It’s one of many high school correspondence courses we have available to students. Take it individually as part of an independent study high school program or collectively as part of an accredited high school diploma program. Unlike many of Poe’s stories, there is nothing scary about becoming an American School student. Our instructors call students by name and offer helpful hints whenever they grade an exam, and the rest of our staff is ready to reply to your needs within one business day. Start writing your educational story today and enroll with American School. You’ll be glad you did!
