It’s August 1, and Colorado became a state on this date in 1876.  Because Colorado became a state 100 years after the United States became a nation, it is sometimes referred to as the Centennial State.  American School knows something about centennials too because we celebrated ours in 1997.  We were founded in Boston in 1897 and have been a leader in homeschool courses ever since.  Back then we served children and adults who could not attend a traditional school due to illness, work or other responsibilities, and we are proud to serve those types of students and many others today.  More than a century after our founding, many students enroll in full-year homeschool programs with us in an effort to earn a high school diploma at home.  Others take just one subject for credit recovery or enrichment purposes.  We are proud to serve all of them, and we’d be proud to serve you too if you live in Colorado or 49 other states.  Enroll today!
