Everest Academy offers three levels of graduating diplomas. Work may be done using whatever resources you deem the most appropriate as long as it is high-school level material. Some avenues to explore are work studies, job shadowing, text books, Internet, correspondence studies, dual enrollment with a local college, and satellite.
Going to College? Most colleges in Alabama are looking for a good transcript and ACT scores. If you have a college in mind, you may want to contact them and find out their requirements. Most colleges outside of Alabama are interested in the SAT test. Again, check with them for their requirements and plan accordingly.
