We know you have a choice when it comes to selecting the right online school. We also know that many factors go into making such an important decision. And we’re confident that ALA offers an unmatched online learning experience—one that will powerfully prepare your child to embrace the life of their choosing.
Read on to see how ALA indeed “checks all the boxes”!
American Learning Academy ’s online curriculum is fully accredited by numerous official accreditation bodies, meaning credits earned through ALA are recognized and honored by all high schools and universities in the U.S. and around the world, and are fully transferable.
ALA is one of only a handful of schools in the U.S. that hold the highest level of accreditation possible at the state, regional, national, and international level. Click here for more details on accreditation.
Young people today want to learn by watching and “experiencing.” That means video, simulations, and TRUE virtual reality (VR). ALA offers all that on a number of our high-school-level offerings: practical, hands-on CTE (Career and Technical Education) learning—the way kids want to learn. Why settle for a typical online school when ALA offers so much more?
Many online schools require students to log in at certain set “class” times. The ALA curriculum—500+ courses strong—is completely self-paced, allowing students to login wherever they are, and whenever they choose. While students pursuing demanding athletic or artistic paths love the flexibility, all students appreciate learning on their schedule.
That said, parents of ALA students can rest assured that all students are assigned an academic advisor who continually monitors their progress, and keeps them on track.
While in-person public schools offer many benefits, a growing number of parents have chosen the home-school route, uncomfortable with any number of unhealthy public-school influences, related to safety, curriculum, culture and more.
With ALA, you move beyond those troubling issues while focusing on core learning fundamentals. Meanwhile, established, in-person extracurricular, home-school programs ensure the vital socialization young people thrive on, through a wide variety of afterschool activities.
The dedicated student-athlete embarks on a challenging path, one that demands an enormous commitment to honing their athletic gifts, while simultaneously pursuing academic excellence.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)—representing more than 460,000 college athletes and 19,000 teams—has officially approved ALA’s online curriculum. In doing so, they have recognized that our learning platform provides the flexible structure necessary to empower students to achieve mastery in both athletics and academics.
