Hello all. I am asking this question for a friend of mine that I used to go to high school with. He never passed the final exam back then and now, years later, he was thinking of taking the diploma online.
Anyhow, we spent some hours surfing the net looking at various online options. The only problem was that along the way we came across many warnings of fake schools, diplomas or accrediting institutions.
Our problem is that so many look good on paper. There was particularly one called Keystone which seemed to have a lot of very interesting courses.
So...
Does anyone know anything more specific about this? Particularly any schools or programs that might be an option. Also if anyone knows anything about Keystone high school that would also be interesting.
Thanks a bunch :)
When I was sixteen, I was informed that because I was homeschooled I could not receive an accredited high school diploma. Instead I decided to take the equivalency test.
My suggestion: locate technical institutes and adult education centers in his area. I'm guessing that the best way to find out who is accredited and who is not... Would be to contact the state's department of technical and adult education. (I say that because my GED was signed by the commissioner and his assistant.)
I know that there is a fee to take the test, I just can't remember how much it is. Also... When you locate an accredited institute or center, ask about GED prep classes. At the institute that I attended those classes could be taken by anyone free of charge.
Wish I could remember more... Best of luck to your friend ;)

Thanks for the input. The advantage that an online place had was that you could take one course at a time, at your own pace. That way I could work with my friend, who has some learning issues (smart guy- no memory whatsoever). But I will contact some of the relevant authorities and see which places are accredited. Thanks again for taking the time to answer :)
