Formal records, flexible days

A school structure that travels with the learner.

Learners work through online lessons, offline activities, assessments and projects. There is no fixed daily live timetable, but weekly pacing and grading support keep the work moving.

Grading support

Grading specialists assess submitted work and give academic feedback. Parents remain the teachers of record.

Official records

Report cards and transcripts document progress through the school programme.

Flexible study

The asynchronous format can fit around travel, sport, health needs and changing family schedules.

Local guidance

Educe helps families choose courses, plan the academic year and communicate with the school.

Credits, not points

High School is a 24-credit plan.

American High School runs from Grade 9 through Grade 12. Learners earn credits by successfully completing individual courses, so the diploma is built course by course across four years.

Keep the two buckets separate

Science and Social Studies course choices count toward their compulsory subject totals. They do not count toward the 6.5 elective credits. Elective credits come from additional approved courses selected for the learner's interests and graduation plan.

The High School menu

Compulsory totals still leave room for choice.

A learner does not take every course below. Courses are chosen to meet each subject total, suit the learner's interests and fit the four-year graduation plan.
