Self-Study With Curator: Guided US Diploma Program

A personal curator monitors your progress, keeps parents informed with weekly reports, and runs one live lesson per week on any subject you choose. Russian-language communication available.

Personal Curator

Your curator tracks weekly progress and sends parents a Progress Report — grades in percentage and A–F scale, assignments completed, teacher feedback. If a session is missed, the curator reaches out to the student directly, and contacts parents if needed.

One Live Lesson Per Week

A one-on-one session with a certified teacher, on any subject the student chooses. Covers difficult topics, checks comprehension, answers questions about the program. Included in the monthly price — no extra charge.

Weekly Parent Updates

Weekly Progress Reports sent directly to parents. The curator flags missed sessions and changes in academic performance. Russian-language communication available — curators can correspond with parents in Russian upon request.

Who Succeeds in Self Study

This program works best for self-motivated, independent learners who prefer flexibility over structure.

01

Self-Motivated Students

You set goals and achieve them independently. Ivan Drogan (Latvia, 2024) studied in self-study format, completed two grades in one year, scored 1437 out of 1600 on the SAT, and received an offer from Brown University (Ivy League).

  • Strong work ethic
  • Internal motivation
  • Goal-oriented mindset

Athletes, performers, travelers, students juggling another school or job — anyone who cannot commit to a fixed timetable. BUZZ is open 24/7. You can start any day and study whenever your schedule allows.

  • No fixed class times or live attendance
  • Compatible with another school or job
  • Works in any time zone, any country
03

  • Study at your natural speed
  • No group comparison or social pressure
  • Accelerated completion is possible
04

Yes. SHKOLA is fully accredited by WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges), one of the most prestigious and respected accreditation organizations in the United States. WASC accreditation is recognized by universities worldwide and guarantees that our curriculum meets rigorous academic standards.

Yes. Our U.S. High School Diploma is recognized 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 — and we have documented cases. 92% of our graduates* are accepted to universities abroad. Our alumni have received offers from Ivy League universities (Brown University), UK institutions (King's College London), top Canadian universities (Western University, University of Alberta), and leading universities across Asia, Europe, and the USA. One of our graduates received a total of $509,825 in scholarship offers and was accepted to 9 universities.

Yes. We offer 3 free trial days — not just one lesson. Your student will complete an online diagnostic in one subject, attend two trial lessons adapted to their level, and receive written feedback from the teacher. No payment is required upfront.

In most cases, you can start learning anytime throughout the year without waiting for group enrollment. We offer flexible start dates to accommodate your family's schedule.

You'll need: (1) Educational records (report card or academic transcript) and (2) ID/passport. Our admissions team will guide you through the simple enrollment process.

Since instruction is in English, students need English language proficiency. We assess language level during the trial period and can recommend preparatory English courses if needed.

Yes! We accept students from around the world. Basic English proficiency is required for comfortable communication with teachers and curators.

Students need: (1) Computer or laptop, (2) Stable internet connection, (3) Webcam and microphone. That's it—no additional purchases required.

No. All textbooks, workbooks, and learning materials are included in tuition and accessible through the BUZZ platform. No hidden costs.

In the self-study format — fully flexible. You set your target completion date, and BUZZ automatically distributes tasks across your To-do List accordingly. There are no live classes to attend at fixed times. In the group format — fixed schedule.

Yes, all classes are recorded. If your student misses a live group lesson, they can watch the recording at their convenience. No learning time is lost.

We maintain small classes with a maximum of 6 students per teacher. This ensures:

  • Every student receives real attention
  • Teachers notice who's struggling immediately
  • No one can "hide"—everyone participates
  • Faster progress without constant repetition

Yes. We offer accelerated formats for motivated students who want to complete their diploma faster.

All students — including those on the independent self-study track — can send questions directly through the platform's Inbox, from inside the course. The teacher responds within 24–48 hours. Students in the curator package also receive:

  • Weekly Progress Reports sent to parents
  • Direct curator contact between sessions
  • One live lesson per week with a certified teacher (any subject)
  • Personalized study plan built around a target graduation date

Curators track student progress weekly and send parents a Progress Report showing: percentage grade (0-100), letter grade (A-F), completed assignments, and teacher feedback. Parents always know how their child is performing.

We minimize parent involvement. Parents don't need to help with homework, and curators ensure students attend class. Younger students may need help logging into the platform. If you choose self-study without a curator, parents provide oversight.

Yes. Payment is available monthly. For families who prefer to pay in advance, discounts apply: 3 months — 3% off, 6 months — 5% off, 9 months — 7% off. Discounts cannot be combined with each other. A 10% discount applies for the second and each subsequent child from the same family.

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.
