My son just started 12th grade and is going to be short 1 entire credit to graduate (1/2 for 10th grade English and another 1/2 for 11th grade English) (But I can't remember off hand which either is for, the first or second half of 10th or 11th grade). Anyway, I live in Tucson, AZ and he goes to school in Michigan. He is planning on going to college in AZ as well, even though he attends high school in MI. Anyway, he would like to look into the possibility of taking these 2 1/2 credits of high school English on-line. Does anybody have any suggestions on someplace either cheap (I can show proof of low income as I am disabled and only receive SSDI) or free or even full price because I may be able to get partial help from his dad and my mom. So I am open to different options. So if anyone can help, Please, send me some links!!!! Thanks,
C.I.

My son is a senior in Roseville High School and is short 1 credit (2 halves actually) both in English to graduate on time. Does anybody know any online high schools in Michigan or somewhere else that counts for Michigan that he can 'just take the 2 1/2 credit courses in English. (He doesn't want to drop out of school and take the entire year on-line, just the courses) Any, and I mean, any information at all that would help me (his mom) would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to see someone send me a link(s) to possible online highschool(s). Thank you very much for reading. I hope I get some answers.
Take a look at some of these links. Research first then call your local school district to get their opinion or advice. Don't spend any money before checking and double checking, including the Better Business Bureau.

I am trying to join the army, but the carrere that am choosing requires that I had taken algebra with a minimun of "C" in high school or college, but the las class that i took was back in high shcool and i got a "D". I just need to algebra 1 from an accredited school online so I can finish processing.
Chances are you won;t find any 1 credit courses at the college level. University of Phoenix offers an algebra on-line course. It is a 3 credit course, so of course it will be more costly. But it might be a great course that will benefit you in the Army.
Good luck; here is the link:

I recently started looking into on-line schooling for high school. But because New York is gay, I still have to take regents courses. The problem is, for science classes, you need to have a certain amount of lab hours before you can earn your regents credit. How would I do labs if I was using an on-line school?
I still don't get the whole regents thing. I mean, am I able to not take regents and just get a local diploma?
And how do colleges look at on-line high schools? Would I be able to get into a college with a diploma earned on-line?
Depending on your age, you might be better off taking the GED test and then taking classes from your local community college.
I was about 2 or 3 credits short of graduation. It is a mistake i regret, but I really would like to attend college ASAP. I am looking into taking the GED test but I was also wondering if there is anyway that I could apply my high school credits to take some type of on-line course in order to get my H.S. diploma. I am just looking for the fastest way to get into college. Any suggestions?
Also, please refrain from all negative comments or asking why I dropped out so close to graduation, that is really not the point. I am trying to seek advice on how I can go forward, not back. Thank you.
...why would you drop out so close to graduation? :/
Anyway, I don't know of any onlin courses to get your diploma..
youneed to take your GED test.
Finals relief « ChapelHillWatch's Blog
High school students in Chapel Hill and Carrboro got an early Christmas present: December finals week was canceled.
In years past, local high schools canceled regular classes during the week before winter break in order to schedule 3-hour blocks for taking end-of-semester exams. Friday of that week was make-up exam day, so students who had not missed any exams over the first four days of the week got to start their winter break a day early.
But this year, Neil Pedersen made the decision to trade in the stress of exam week for five extra days of instruction. He didn’t need the school board’s approval to make the change.
