Study when you want, where you want.
http://www.lhsoc.org/While maintaining the highest academic standards, the Orange Lutheran Online program provides students with a more flexible and efficient way to earn their diploma from a highly regarded, accredited high school. Our convenient online format lets students attend class at different times (asynchronously) when and where they want. All they need is a computer with Internet access. This enables our students to hold jobs, internships, pursue other studies, participate in athletic or artistic endeavors or travel extensively and still complete a quality high school education in a timely manner. Although the curriculum is rigorous, students can complete their high school diploma online in as few as three years, taking just three courses every eight weeks. If they prefer a more traditional approach, they can complete the program in four years, by taking three courses every eight weeks with summers off.
Orange Lutheran Online is also a great way to supplement your current home schooling or to earn class credits that may be transferred to another high school.
Online High School Diplomas Designed for All Walks of Life
These days the internet gives students so all ages the ability to complete high school in the comfort of their own homes. In this article we will discuss the various types of students that go to online high schools and how they differ from traditional schools. If you are new to the concept of going to an online school then we hope this article will help in your decision making process.
So you might as who goes to an online high school? Well the answer might surprise you when you learn that almost all types of people attend an online high school. If you are a home schooling parent you might opt to teach your kids at home and you’ll utilize what an online environment has to offer. Say you child (or yourself) dropped out your senior year and only needed a few classes to graduate. What if you’re in a neighborhood and the public school system isn’t the best. So you see an online high school isn’t for those who are dumb or those who can’t make it in a public school.
High School Dropouts
Dropout rates are a concern with the federal government and that is why new laws have tried to help kids out. Some laws have mandatory tests you must pass to get your diploma and even some states are actually looking into adding an additional year to the existing 4 year high school to better prepare students for the transition into college. The great thing about an online high school is that for dropouts you can almost pick up where you left off. If you only need Senior English or an Algebra course then an accredited high school will be able to work with you and your high school counselor to make sure what you take will satisfy those requirements. You can study at home, and get that diploma that you desperately need to today’s society.
Public School Systems
Many people choose to not attend their local high school due to lack of education they fell their child will obtain at the local level. Many online high schools have a higher standard of education and won’t allow a student to slip through the system. Also depending on your neighborhood you child might be safer attending an online school. Your child’s education is something you can’t put a price tag on and many schools offer very affordable payment plans and even scholarships.
Home Schooling
One of the largest segments is made up of home schooling families. These families choose to teach their children at home. Most believe that these are troubled teens or poor families when in fact they are middle class families whose kids generally have a higher IQ than those that attend public school and are using home schooling as a way to accelerate them past high school and into college. Religion can also play a role in weather a family decides to home school or not.
Many states have rules and regulations regarding home schooling and in my person opinion it should be that right of the parent to decide what method is going to best suit the child in their learning needs. People often ask if a home schooled child is socially not as mature than a traditional child and many believe that they home schooled child is actually more socially mature and that they interact more socially than a traditional child.
10 WAYS TO FIND OUT YOUR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA YOU ARE RECEIVING MIGHT BE FAKE OR FRAUDULENT
- IMPOSSIBLE PRICE TAG
Only $399 and you can receive your High School Diploma in as little as 4 days. If you see this run like the plague.
- NO CLASSROOM ATTENDANCE
Unless it is a 100% online school how can you get a diploma without attending some type of class.
- NO HOMEWORK OR TESTS
Wow, where was this when I was going to school for 4 years. Exactly how are you going to learn anything without homework or tests.
- LIFETIME EXPERIENCE
The biggest scam these days is to get a degree with what they call lifetime experience. Basically you tell the school you worked at a pizza place in high school for 10 months and they count that as “experience” for your online diploma.
- NO PHONE NUMBERS
Funny how a school can be on the internet and the only way you can contact them is by e-mail or AOL IM. Actually these days they fake schools are buying 800 numbers so you really need to do your research
- GET THE DEGREE FROM ANYWHERE
Some of larger operations will give you a choice on what school you would like your diploma from. Recently several employees from NASA were caught with fake degrees. This is a big problem that we need to address before innocent people get taken for $1000’s of dollars
- SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
Just like your mom told you, if it sounds too good than it probably isn’t true. Nothing in life is really free and it takes hard work to get ahead in life. Don’t waste your time cutting corners.
- DO YOUR RESEARCH
Never send a check to a school unless you have researched the school. Find out information such as where they are located (use Google Earth to see location). Ask them for a list of former students that you can talk to. Do as much research as possible.
- TALK TO THE TEACHERS
If the school is real then it must have teachers correct? If it is a real school it must have teachers and if it is an online school then you should have the chance to call up and talk to an advisor about the course(s) you want to take.
- ASK THE GOVERNMENT
Take your research directly to the US government. The President won’t be able to help you with this but you should be able to find governing bodies that have accredited the school. If it is a 100% real school then the school would be accredited or approved by state or national agencies.
High School Success Story:
I dropped out of high school in the 10th grade because of where I lived. I didn’t enjoy going to school because I didn’t feel safe. For over a year my mother tried to get the school to listen but because of budgets, etc. they just didn’t seem to care about our problem. I’m a real smart individual who always got A’s in all of my courses. I really didn’t feel challenged in my old school and I really wanted a more challenging path. My mom found an online high school for me to attend and I really love it. I wasn’t sure when I first started if I would like it but I soon found out my teachers were great and I really felt like they were there for me and not just to control an out of control class. I was able to transfer all of my courses over to the new school and I’ll be caught up soon in the 10th grade. I’m going to finish up my high school online and I wish I would have started in the 9th grade.
