Looking into graduating early from high school? There are many ways to go about it, but I want to discuss how online private schooling is the most effective and quickest option available. Whether you’re a current private school student, or a public school student, chances are that you’ve brought up your desire to graduate early to your college counselor. While their suggestions most likely recommend you taking summer classes, there’s an alternative route you can go. Online private schooling allows you to take classes online at your convenience to earn additional credits towards your diploma.
How it Works
Tenney School Live is our online component to our in-person private school: The Tenney School. Tenney School Live specializes in a customizable curriculum for students looking to either be full time or part time. This flexibility is great for students how are looking into graduating early from high school. The biggest benefit is it’s modular design in addition to it’s live classroom model. This means that you select one or more classes from the available list to take, and enroll in those classes. Each class is taught live, one-on-one with one of our private school teachers. This gives you a leg up over other online schools that are self-paced. You get the opportunity to learn with a live teacher that can answer questions on the fly. Also, since the class is one on one, the curriculum moves at the pace of you. So if you’re understanding concepts quickly, the teacher can accelerate the class to match your pace.
Benefits of Graduating Early
Graduating early has many benefits for students. It gives you the ability to start a higher education earlier. It gives you more prep time for university or college, you can become independent sooner, more time with family, etc. Many students who graduate early take a gap year to assess what they wish to do. This is a great way to spend your extra year as many students throw themselves into university without a clue or plan of what they wish to do. This can cause complications down the road if they don’t know what they want to do by their sophomore year. Taking that gap year to figure things out eliminates that risk and ultimately can help you save money for college.
Getting Set to Graduate Early
The first thing you need to do is make a plan. Whether that plan is made with your family, private counselor, or public counselor, having a plan is essential for accomplishing your goals. Exploring all available options for your plan is a good idea as each person is on a different timeline. Maybe you only need a handful of credits to graduate early, so summer school is a more appealing option. If you’re further behind, online private school could be the route to go as you can earn more credits in a shorter amount of time. Also verifying your graduation requirements is another important step as state requirements vary depending on where you live.
Ultimately it’s an exciting step to take when starting your journey of graduating high school early.
