It’s December 7, and on this date in 1787, Delaware became the first state in the United States. It is difficult to know for sure, but with our founding in 1897, American School has to be one of the first homeschool institutions in the United States if not the first. What we do know for sure is that we were the first distance education high school to become regionally accredited, and our accreditation and recognition remain very important to us to this day. Currently we are accredited by MSA-CESS, Ai and NCPSA and recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education as a non-public school. We are proud of these accreditations and recognitions which attest to the quality education we offer to students in Delaware, the 49 other states, and more than 65 countries around the world. Enroll in our accredited middle school program, accredited high school program or independent study program today. All of us would be glad to serve you!
