Earn Your High School Diploma

Yes — Alta Independent is fully accredited by Cognia (NWAC), one of the largest and most respected accrediting bodies in the world, which certifies traditional public and private high schools across the U.S. and in 100+ countries.

Your diploma and credits are generally recognized by colleges and employers, though final acceptance is always determined by the receiving institution.

It depends on the student. Online high school isn't easier — you still complete the same coursework and earn the same credits. What's different is the structure.

There's no fixed schedule, no classroom distractions, and no one-size-fits-all pace. For self-motivated students, that freedom is an advantage.

For students who need more external structure, our mentored plans provide additional support.

Not sure which plan fits your learning style? Talk to an advisor before you enroll.

No fixed class times, no commutes, and no bell schedule. You work through Cognia-accredited courses online, at the speed that fits your life.

The structure, support, and accreditation are all here — built around you, not a calendar.

Thousands of students have earned diplomas and credits through Alta Independent across a wide range of situations — from credit recovery to full-time enrollment and adult completion.

You are joining a proven, established program.

Faster than you might think. Because Alta is fully self-paced, motivated students can accelerate through coursework and graduate ahead of schedule.

Once you enroll, we build a personalized graduation plan that shows your exact path to the finish line — and the fastest way to get there.

Many Alta students graduate a full year early.

Talk to an advisor to see how quickly you could realistically finish based on your current credits

Yes — this is one of the most common reasons families come to us. We meet students exactly where they are, build a personalized graduation plan, and map the fastest path to their diploma.

Being behind doesn't mean being stuck. It just means you need a better system.

Talk to an advisor today to review your transcripts and see what's possible

Yes. Because Alta is nationally accredited, we enroll students from all over the country.

Families are simply responsible for verifying compliance with their specific state's diploma or transfer requirements.

Talk to an advisor if you are enrolling from out of state.

Every full-time student receives a custom graduation plan showing exactly which credits they have, which they still need, and the clearest path to their diploma.

It's your academic roadmap — and we update it as you progress.

Most students are active in the portal within 2 business days. Before you start, we:

• Request and review your transcripts
• Build your personalized graduation plan
• Complete a brief orientation covering policies and the student portal
• Set up your login and walk you through the tools

You're never left to figure it out alone.

Yes. Every student has access to live chat support during business hours, weekly progress reports, and a dedicated enrollment monitor who reviews your work and sends personalized feedback each week.

You're never just a number.

Each week you receive a progress report covering coursework completed, current pace toward graduation, grades, and a personal monitor message.

Parents receive the same report — so everyone stays on the same page.

Not always — and we'll tell you honestly. Alta Independent works best for students who can work independently and take ownership of their pace.

If you're unsure whether it's the right fit, talk to an advisor first. We'd rather help you find the right solution than enroll the wrong one.

Yes — think of the first 30 days as your trial period. If you're unsatisfied for any reason within the first 30 days, you're eligible for a full refund of your initial tuition payment.

The application fee is non-refundable, but your tuition investment is protected.

We're confident you'll find your fit — but we want you to feel safe starting.

Enroll with confidence knowing your first 30 days are risk-free.

Alta Independent offers three full-time monthly plans starting at $215/month. Each includes 24/7 course access, weekly progress reports, and live chat support.

Full-time plans include the diploma and graduation package at no extra cost.

What we do guarantee: a clear plan, consistent support, and every tool you need to succeed. The rest is up to you — and we believe in you.
