Earn an official US High School Diploma alongside your existing education. WASC-accredited — the same standard as Stanford and UCLA. Evening classes that fit around your current school, not instead of it.
Keep your existing education — add US accreditation on top. Two diplomas open doors that one alone never could.
A US diploma is recognized by universities in the USA, UK, Canada, Europe, and Asia. A domestic diploma alone significantly limits international options.
The US curriculum builds critical thinking, academic essay writing, and research skills — exactly what international universities look for and what most local school systems don't emphasize.
All subjects are taught in English by certified instructors — native speakers and bilingual educators from the USA, UK, and Canada. Students reach fluency through academic work, not just language lessons.
Two diplomas set your child apart from every local peer. On international university applications, dual credentials signal genuine academic ambition, proven English proficiency, and global readiness.
We evaluate your current school records and transfer applicable credits directly to the US system. Typically 14–16 out of 24 required credits transfer — you only complete what's genuinely missing.
Classes start at 16:45 — after your regular school day ends. No need to choose between diplomas. Both happen in parallel, without disrupting your current routine.
A clear, supported process — from your first consultation to holding two diplomas.
We analyse your current school records and show exactly how many credits transfer to the US diploma — typically 14–16 out of 24. No guesswork, no commitment required.
We assess your current English level and academic background, then build a personalised plan covering the 8–10 credits you'll complete with us — scheduled around your existing school.
Evening classes on the BUZZ platform with certified native and bilingual teachers. Weekly progress reports keep parents informed, and your personal curator tracks every step.
Earn your WASC-accredited US High School Diploma alongside your existing credential. Apply to universities worldwide with a profile that stands out from every local peer.

Find out how many credits transfer from your current school — free, in 30 minutes
Your existing school already covers most of what the US diploma requires. You only complete the subjects that are genuinely different — focused on areas where the two systems don't overlap.
Literature, essays, academic writing, presentations. Develop college-level English fluency through real coursework — not language drills.
American history, the Constitution, the political system. Required for the US diploma and not covered in other national school systems.
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science. AP options available for students targeting competitive universities.
Most math credits transfer directly from your existing school. You may add Statistics or Calculus depending on your university targets.
Fill remaining credits with subjects that interest you. AP courses significantly strengthen college applications and may earn university credit upon admission.
Health education completed online. Physical Education requirement met through documented physical activities or sports your child already does.
Second Diploma classes run in the evening shift — starting at 16:45, after your regular school day ends. No schedule conflict, no compromise.
Between school shifts (15:00–17:00), all SHKOLA students join shared activities regardless of their programme format.
A dedicated team helps students balance their existing school and US diploma requirements — without burning out.
Every student gets a personal curator from day one. They monitor progress, contact students (and parents) if a lesson is missed, and keep parents informed through weekly reports.
All parent communication is available in your native language. Whether it is a grade question, a technical issue on the BUZZ platform, or an urgent matter — the team responds quickly.
When the time comes to apply to universities, students get hands-on guidance: application essay editing and step-by-step support through the admissions process. SAT/IELTS prep classes are also available.
All subjects taught in English by certified instructors — native speakers and bilingual educators from the USA, UK, and Canada. Students gain fluency through real academic work, not language lessons alone.
University-level vocabulary and writing developed through real coursework — essays, research papers, and presentations that prepare students for higher education worldwide.
Our 130+ teachers include native speakers from the USA, UK, and Canada, as well as certified bilingual educators. Every lesson delivers authentic pronunciation, academic vocabulary, and cultural context.
English is the medium of learning, not the subject itself. Students use the language to study History, Science, and Literature — the most effective path to real fluency.
From intermediate to near-native fluency
Ivan left Latvia for Brown University. Kuzma went from B1 English to King's College London. Maria received $509,825 in scholarship offers from 9 universities. Vyacheslav enrolled in Bangkok without entrance exams. Elizaveta studied two schools simultaneously and chose her terms.
"From Latvia to Ivy League"
I moved to Latvia and Russian-language state education was no longer an option. I found SHKOLA, tried a trial lesson, looked at the subjects, and realized the American diploma was recognized internationally. That was enough to decide.
"From B1 English to King's College London seminars"
At my first lesson I was sitting there trying to understand anything, speaking very slowly. Now I'm in London, near my university, talking calmly on the street, participating in seminars — listening to lectures and arguing with professors when I think they're wrong.

"9 universities · $509,825 in scholarship offers"
Since childhood I dreamed of studying in the US. In 9th grade I decided to do something about it. My mom found SHKOLA — an international diploma I could take anywhere. I applied to universities across the US and Europe, and the total scholarship offers came to $509,825 from 9 universities.
"Moved to Thailand in 12th grade — graduated on schedule"
We moved to Thailand and universities required 12 years of education. Vyacheslav had finished 11 grades in Russia. SHKOLA gave us a schedule that fit his sport, and even let us add extra hours to finish sooner. The university accepted the diploma without any additional exams — only an interview in English. — Tatiana, Vyacheslav's mother
"Two schools at once — her schedule, her choice"
I managed to combine both schools — SHKOLA on Wednesdays and Fridays, preparatory courses every day, and a private tutor. I built my own schedule and went through all the material I needed for the entrance exams at my Russian university. The flexibility made it possible.
Understand exactly what changes when you add a US diploma on top of your existing credentials — and why it matters for university applications worldwide.
We evaluate transcripts from your current school and transfer applicable credits to the US system. Most core subjects count toward your diploma — you only complete what is genuinely missing.
Maths is rigorous in most school systems worldwide. Usually 4 full credits transfer directly to US diploma requirements.
Biology, Chemistry, Physics from your current school count. Typically 3–4 science credits transfer successfully.
Foreign language, PE, and electives also transfer. Social studies partially counts toward requirements.
Everything you need to know about SHKOLA's accredited online education
Yes. SHKOLA is fully accredited by WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) — one of the most respected accreditation bodies in the United States. WASC accreditation is recognised by universities worldwide and confirms that our curriculum meets the same rigorous academic standards as Stanford and UCLA.
Yes. Our U.S. High School Diploma is recognised by colleges and universities throughout the United States and can be used for university admissions both in the US and internationally. WASC accreditation ensures acceptance across all 50 states.
Yes. Our graduates attend 800+ universities worldwide, including Ivy League institutions, Russell Group universities in the UK, and top Canadian and European universities. Our college counselling team guides every student through the application process. We recommend checking with your target university whether they accept online school diplomas, as policies vary.
Yes. We offer a free 3-day trial period — not just a single lesson. Your child completes a diagnostic test, attends trial classes, and receives detailed teacher feedback. Parents see our individualised approach firsthand. No payment required upfront.
In most cases, you can start learning at any time throughout the year without waiting for a group intake. We offer flexible start dates to accommodate your family's schedule.
You will need: (1) educational records — report card or academic transcript, and (2) identity document / passport. Our admissions team will guide you through the simple enrolment process.
Since all instruction is in English, students need English language proficiency. We assess language level during the free diagnostic and can recommend preparatory English courses if needed before starting the main programme.
Yes — we accept students from around the world and currently teach students from 40+ countries. At least basic English proficiency is required for comfortable communication with teachers and curators.
Students need: a computer or laptop, a stable internet connection, and a webcam and microphone. That is all — no additional purchases are required. All learning materials are included in tuition and accessible through the BUZZ platform.
It depends on your chosen format. Group format: fixed schedule (evening shift from 16:45). Self-Study, Flexible, and Individual formats: adapted to your schedule and time zone.
Yes, all classes are recorded. If your student misses a live group lesson, they can watch the full recording on the BUZZ platform at any convenient time. No learning time is ever lost.
We maintain a maximum of 6 students per teacher in group classes. This ensures every student receives real attention, teachers immediately notice who is struggling, and there is no hiding behind a muted screen. Everyone participates, everyone progresses.
Yes. We offer accelerated formats for motivated students who want to complete their diploma faster. Discuss your timeline with our admissions team during the free consultation.
The programme adapts to your child. Depending on the reason for falling behind, we will propose a solution: transfer to a different group, additional support lessons, or an adjusted schedule. No student is left behind without a plan.
Every student has a personal curator from day one — a mentor who tracks attendance, monitors progress, and supports motivation. If a student is late or misses a lesson, the curator contacts them directly. If no response, they contact the parents. Curators are people who genuinely care about children and know how to work with each age group.
Curators send parents a weekly Progress Report that includes: percentage score (0–100), letter grade (A–F), number of completed assignments, and direct feedback from teachers. Parents are always fully informed — no surprises at the end of term.
We minimise parent involvement by design. Parents do not need to help with homework, and curators independently ensure students attend class. Younger students may occasionally need help logging into the platform. If you choose the self-study format without a curator, parental oversight is recommended.
Yes. Monthly payment is available. In many US schools, tuition is paid annually upfront — at SHKOLA you can pay month by month. Payment is accepted via Stripe or bank transfer.
Yes. The following discounts apply:
Note: discounts cannot be combined.
No hidden fees or additional charges are included in the base tuition. All learning materials are included. Optional add-ons — such as extra subjects, AP courses, or SAT/IELTS preparation classes — are available at separate rates.
Yes. All enrolment is based on an official service agreement that clearly outlines terms of service, payment conditions, and refund policy. You receive a copy of the contract before any payment is made.
