FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  1. How long will it take to earn a high school diploma? Up to 18 months but many students can complete the program in 12 -14 months

  2. How much time will it take each week? 12 -14 hours per week

  3. How much work is required to earn a high school course credit? A student must complete 8 lessons or 1 semester per week to stay on pace and to earn one credit per month.

  4. What are the scholarship requirements? Students must complete the 1st half credit in the first 2 weeks. This is called Part 1, a pre-requisite course. It is approximately 20 hours of work. It gives students a chance to “test-drive” the program to see if online learning is right for them. It also gives LNWEF a chance to determine if the student has the time, motivation, and commitment to the program. Once a student completes Part 1, they will be enrolled in Part 2. The first 30 days is a probationary period where they can be dropped if they are not staying on pace.

  5. Will students get academic support? Once enrolled in Part 2, each student is assigned an academic coach who will call and arrange a time to get to know the student and his/her education and career goals. This coach will stay with them the entire time they are in the program. The LNWEF expects each student to stay in regular contact with their academic coach especially if they get “stuck” on a particular subject.

  6. Do students get credit for previously earned high school credits? Most likely, yes. The academic coach will explain how to have transcripts from your previous high school sent and evaluated for credit transfers.
