North Texas Academy offers accredited home school classes for students in grades 9-12 and their other program, Plano Home School Academy, offers courses for students in fourth through eighth grades. The traditional correspondence program is not a faith-based program and provides regimented work based on two-week assignments that the student completes and mails in to the school as he begins the next set of assignments. The school returns the graded assignments to the student.
High school students may enroll in faster paced programs or "Parent as the Teacher" programs and mail a percentage of assignments in at the end of the course. These two options allow students to set their own pace for each school year's courses, but the work must be completed within a year. Students who complete all the required coursework receive a diploma.
Established in 1897, the American School of Correspondence works with high school students only. It offers national accreditation status with self-paced courses your student can work on at her own pace and a high school diploma for those who graduate. Families may choose a college prep track or a general education program. Students who have been enrolled in an accredited high school may transfer with credits for some classes. Home schooled students hoping to transfer credits for previously completed coursework will need to pass an exam prior to receiving credit.
