    Have you visited:

    Welcome to Florida Virtual School: an online e-learning solution

    It is the only online high school I know that is legit.

    Is it your GED your trying to get? If so I would be very weary on online schools. There are plenty of adult centers that can help with this.

    A GED is an equivalent to a high school diploma. This is what adults get once they can no longer obtain the actual high school diploma.

    Please see: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/online...al-345161.html

    I know it says stuff about college but the same rules apply for online high schools.

    Please be nice. Mudweiser was just trying to help you. No reason to get so nasty.

    There is nothing wrong with a GED. I know of doctors who went through medical school with a GED.

    To get a high school diploma you either have to attend high school or be home schooled. The great majority of the online programs are just diploma mills and when you try to go to college you will find that the online school was not accredited and you wasted your money as that diploma is only worth the piece of paper it was printed on.

    Well, first of all young lady, you did not tell anyone where you are from. This is a world wide website, so you may get answers from Canada to Cambodia, from Turkey to Tazmania and none of these answers may help you.

    Second of all, we, as adults, are trying to tell you that there are very few, if any, legitimate online high schools.

    Please don't tell us what we are thinking. We aren't judging you for not finishing high school. Many people don't for a variety of different reasons.

    Why would you want someone who CAN'T answer to answer you?

    No one approached your question assuming that you're "dumb" because as J-9 pointed out, many people don't finish high school for various reasons. It's commendable that you want to take the opportunity to finish.

    Did you check out the links Mudweiser provided? Without knowing where you are, it's difficult to provide information specific to your area.

    Another option is to speak with a counselor in one of your local high schools- they may personally know of an online accredited high school program.

    I just hope you don't take the same attitude that you've shown here. Good luck!
