It’s November 8, and Montana became a state on this date in 1889.  Montana is the home of Christopher Paolini, best-selling author of the Eragon series and many other novels, and we are proud to count Christopher among our graduates.  Many years ago Christopher visited the School and spoke with several staff members, and we are grateful that he took time out of his busy schedule to see us.  During Christopher’s time as an American School student we only offered a correspondence high school diploma program made up entirely of paper-based high school courses.  Just as Christopher’s writing career has evolved, so has his distance education high school.  We now offer middle school at home and an online high school diploma program to serve more students in more ways whether they live in Montana or any of the other 49 states.  Join Christopher Paolini as an American School student by enrolling today!
