Updated Enrollment Applications Available Soon

by | Aug 7, 2024 | New Blog

Updated enrollment applications for American School’s accredited middle school program, accredited high school program and independent study program will soon be available on the School’s enrollment page. Tuition for one year of middle school or high school will increase from $1000 to $1050. The standard agreement will call for a down payment of $250 and five monthly payments of $160 each. Tuition for individual paper-based middle school courses and paper-based high school courses will increase by $50 per course. Tuition for individual online middle school courses and online high school courses will remain the same. The reason for the increase in price may be attributed to rising costs associated with printed course materials. Although costs associated with correspondence courses continue to rise, American School has no plans to discontinue offering paper-based courses which have been a cornerstone of our school since our founding in 1897. As we have done in the past, American School will continue to accept applications dated 2023 as long as they are postmarked by August 31. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding and for making us your distance education middle school or distance education high school.

I found all the material and methods extremely satisfying. It made the classes simple enough to learn while still being able to enjoy the process! I spent my first two years of high school in a public school, but American School made it an enjoyable experience while still giving me the education I need. My parents have never been so proud to see so many good grades coming from a homeschool program.

I especially liked and appreciated all of the instructors’ positive comments, feedback and helpful hints on my son’s exams. You cannot put a price tag on a high school diploma, although I felt the fees were quite reasonable. I’m really thankful that there is a back-up plan for students who are lacking credits to graduate.

My overall interaction with American School has been positive. I find the study guides essential tools to being able to get the full benefit of the textbooks. They often explain things in a more understandable detail. The service of American School has been prompt with addressing my needs, such as requesting more courses, getting progress reports in a timely manner, etc. I do appreciate the feedback from the instructors on my exams. My experience with American School has been more than satisfactory.

The courses from American School have been awesome! They are challenging but also really enjoyable. The textbooks were all very clear and detailed. The study guides were wonderful. They really helped me understand the lesson concepts. I have improved by miles! I definitely will keep using American School until I finish high school.

I really enjoy studying through American School. It helped me prepare for college classes. You learn to become independent and motivate yourself to finish.

Carissa from California

I found American School’s curriculum very satisfactory. I enjoyed the material and its methods. Grammar and math, my toughest subjects, were much easier to understand than any of my previous books. The comments my instructors left on my graded work were helpful and encouraging. Overall I was happy with my courses.
