Allied National High School Granted WASC Accreditation
Allied National High School has received interim accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) giving it the distinction of being an approved online high school that focuses on student learning and achievement.
An initial site visit was conducted at Allied National High School to determine if the school was eligible for accreditation. After a thorough review of the facility, staff, course materials, practices, and procedures, Allied National High School was granted an interim term of accreditation.
"This accreditation provides current and prospective students with the assurance that they are receiving an education from a quality school," said James Rieger, director of Allied National High School. "Accreditation sets us apart from other schools. We offer students a quality education that prepares them for college and future careers."

Homeschooling Knows No Bounds
The arguments against homeschooling don't hold up today against the opportunities for quality distance learning. With the introduction of the Internet and advances in technology, the home classroom can have all of the advantages of a traditional classroom.
Once upon a time, resources were very limited for homeschoolers. There was very little known about this unusual teaching method and little support in the community. Homeschoolers were isolated from the classroom and teaching materials were hard to find. That's not to say that it wasn't successful for some people. There are many successful homeschoolers in history -- from Leonardo da Vinci to Winston Churchill. Today, there is just a larger support system to make it successful.
All of the resources and technical capabilities that mirror the classroom are now available to the distance learner. First, there are online classes available to homeschoolers that can teach high school students the subjects they need to know. If parents are not well-versed in more difficult subject matter, they can use online classes to complement their teaching methods. Second, the Internet can provide guidance with course materials, teaching methods and overall support. There is a wealth of information available through the simple use of a computer. Third, e-mail and interactive software enable parents and students to stay in touch with teachers, support groups and other students. They are not alone in their homeschool experience.
Homeschooling is becoming more commonplace today. It doesn't just appeal to one small segment of society anymore. It is often a great option for students who need to stay home for health reasons, desire to work at their own pace, find themselves unable to concentrate on their work in the traditional setting, or need to schedule their learning around a career (such as acting). Today, these students can easily prepare for college and get a fully-recognized diploma through homeschool programs.
There are no limitations to the homeschool experience. Technology has enabled the homeschooler to stay informed, stay in touch, and stay on top of their education.
