An online diploma program · Established 1998
An accredited online diploma program.
Students complete the high school program and sit the school's written examination from home, in a single session. Pass it, and they have earned their 24 credits and graduate with a high school diploma. The examination can be retaken as many times as needed at no additional charge. The office keeps the record and handles everything personally, so a family deals with a person, never a system.
The School
The school behind the diploma.
Autumn Grove High School is a private high school. A student sits the school's written examination, and on passing it graduates with a high school diploma and the full 24 credits behind it. Everything is handled by the school office - the exam, the records, certificates and transcripts alike - so a family deals with a person, never a system.
How It Works
How a student graduates.
Autumn Grove awards its diploma to students who pass its written examination. There is one route through the school, and it is the same for every student.
Take the written test
The school's written examination is taken online, in a single sitting from the student's own account, and it covers the high school program, in four sections: English, mathematics, science and social studies. A student who does not pass may sit it again as many times as they need to — another sitting carries no additional charge, and there is no limit on how many times it may be taken.
The school marks it
The examination is marked against the school's own question bank the moment it is submitted, by the school's own system, and the result is recorded against the student's name in the school's academic record. The office is told at once, so a pass is never left sitting unread - and the office keeps the completed paper with the grade.
Pass, and you graduate
A passing result earns the student the full 24 credits. They graduate, and the school issues their high school diploma and their official transcript.
Students keep a record of their own results in the student area of this site. If you have sat the examination and have not received your sign-in details, contact the school office.
What a student studies here.
Eight subject areas make up the diploma. A passing result on the examination awards the credits in each area, and every one is recorded on the academic record the school keeps.

Reading closely, writing clearly, and arguing a point in writing.
Mathematics
Algebra, geometry and beyond - reasoning with numbers and proof.

The scientific method, laboratory work, and how to weigh evidence.

Foreign Language

How long does it take?
The office confirms your details first, then the certificate is prepared and sent. If you need it by a particular date, say so in the notes and we will tell you straight away whether that is possible.
Is my certificate recorded?
Yes. Every certificate carries a unique number and is entered in the school register, so it can be confirmed later.
