We combine curriculum, teaching method, small classes, platform access, and structured academic progression into one integrated learning framework.
From the first consultation to a WASC-accredited diploma, the student moves through a clear academic path with diagnostics, support, and university-oriented progression.
The curriculum follows Florida State Standards, spans Grades 1–12, and includes AP and Honors pathways for advanced students.
SHKOLA teaches through visual explanation, sequential mastery, and dialogue-based instruction rather than passive memorization.
The class-size policy is a deliberate academic choice: each student is visible, supported, and able to participate in every lesson.
Lessons, recordings, assignments, grades, and parent communication are organized inside one learning platform accessible 24/7.
SHKOLA students go on to achieve strong academic progress, university acceptances, scholarships, and meaningful growth.

Everything you need to know about SHKOLA's accredited online education
Yes. Academy of Global Education SHKOLA is accredited by WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) — one of the most prestigious and respected accreditation bodies in the United States. WASC is recognised by universities worldwide and guarantees our curriculum meets rigorous academic standards.
A graduate receives a U.S. High School Diploma together with an official academic transcript. The diploma is identical to a standard American high school diploma and is recognised by colleges and universities in the US and internationally.
AP (Advanced Placement) courses are university-level subjects studied in high school. High AP scores may be accepted as academic credits by colleges. SHKOLA is accredited by College Board and is authorised to offer the AP programme (school code: 964748). Strong AP results provide advantages when applying to universities in the US, Canada, UK, and 50+ other countries.
Honors courses are advanced, more intensive versions of standard subjects. They deepen understanding and strengthen a student's academic profile.
The SHKOLA diploma is equivalent to a standard U.S. High School Diploma. We recommend confirming with your target university that they accept diplomas from accredited online schools. Our graduates have been accepted to universities in the US, Europe, the UK, and beyond — one graduate received offers from 7 universities in a single application cycle with ~$500,000 in total scholarship offers.
Yes. We offer a free 3-day trial period — not just one lesson. During those days your child will complete a diagnostic assessment and attend trial classes. Parents see our individual approach firsthand, the teacher provides detailed feedback on strengths and areas to develop, and the student gets to feel what learning at SHKOLA is like. No payment required upfront.
You will need: (1) educational records — a report card or academic transcript, and (2) an ID or passport. Our admissions team will guide you through the process.
In most cases you can start at any time of year without waiting for a group intake. We offer flexible start dates to fit your family's schedule.
Yes. We welcome students from all over the world. Since all instruction is in English, at least a basic level of English is required for comfortable communication with teachers and advisors. We assess language level during the free trial period.
It depends on your chosen format:
Lessons are available starting from 06:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 00:00 AM (ET, UTC-5) to accommodate students across different time zones.
We keep classes small — maximum 6 students per teacher. This means:
Yes, all classes are recorded. If a student misses a live group lesson, they can watch the recording at any convenient time. No learning is ever lost.
Students earn points for homework, tests, and exams. Assessment uses a 100-point percentage scale which maps to the American letter system:
Grades are used to calculate GPA (Grade Point Average), which is taken into account when applying to colleges and universities.
School life at SHKOLA includes:
Yes. SHKOLA considers academic credit transfers from other accredited institutions. You will need to provide an official academic transcript for review.
Yes. An accelerated format is available for motivated students who want to complete their diploma sooner.
The programme adapts to the student. Depending on the reason for falling behind, we will offer a solution: moving to a different group, additional sessions, or adjusting the schedule.
Every student has a Personal Academic Advisor — a mentor, source of support, and motivator. Advisors run non-academic check-ins, track wellbeing, and make sure students feel comfortable. If a student is late or misses a lesson, the advisor reaches out directly — and contacts parents if needed. All SHKOLA advisors genuinely care about children and understand how to work with each age group.
The advisor tracks the student's progress and programme completion weekly, and sends parents a Progress Report showing: percentage grade (0–100), letter grade (A–F), number of completed assignments, and feedback from teachers. Parents always know how their child is doing.
We minimise the need for parent involvement. Parents do not need to help with homework, and advisors independently ensure students attend class. Younger students may need a parent's help logging into the platform. If you choose self-study without a Personal Academic Advisor, some parental oversight will be needed.
Yes. Flexible payment options are available, including monthly payments. Prepayment discounts also apply: 3% for 3 months, 5% for 6 months, 7% for 9 months — paid upfront. Discounts are not combined.
No hidden fees or additional charges. You can optionally pay for extra subjects or AP courses if your student wants to study beyond the standard curriculum. All enrolment is based on an official contract outlining all terms, services, and payment details.
