How It Works

Teens How It Works

We created a user-friendly, streamlined program so every parent can help their teen earn a quality education and a Bachelor's Degree in high school! 

We help parents work SMARTER, not harder!

Teens Customize Your Plan

Customize Your Plan

We start by meeting with you one-on-one in Zoom where we discuss your students' educational goals and create a degree plan or "RoadMap" for your student. We've carefully selected the best classes for each degree based on content, efficiency, passing rates, and feedback from students. We offer advisors, a roadmap, course schedule, step-by-step directions, tips & tricks for earning a bachelor's degree, and a community group for support.

Study Your Way

Our students have the flexibility to do their lessons whenever, and wherever they want. Students can learn on the go with a phone, tablet, or computer. Students can complete school in a few hours a day, allowing them plenty of time for extracurricular activities, pursuing other interests, learning valuable skills, and extra time to explore/discover various career options.

Teens Learn Once Earn Twice

Learn Once, Earn Twice

Your student can earn high school and college credit for each course they complete in our program. Our students stay motivated throughout high school by focusing on learning to mastery and knowing that they only have to complete a course 1 time. In traditional education, students have to repeat courses like US History, English, Algebra, Biology, etc. Our students learn once, and earn twice which saves them time, frustration, and money.

Paying for College

The costs of a bachelor's degree can be daunting! Our innovative program uses educational strategy, self-paced courses, and university partnerships so we can save you 70%+ off tuition for the same university degree, just less money. We offer the savings as well as M-F support throughout high school and until they graduate with their bachelor degree.

Testimonials

 High School Graduate -18 year old accepted to Ivy League Law School

"I’m currently 18 years old and I will graduate in the next few weeks from both high school and college. Both at the same time! I’ll be going straight to law school in the fall. And this was only possibly because of what Ms. Deems was able to do for me. In showing me what courses to take, how to take them, and in what order; she allowed me the flexibility with school to be able to make this great accomplishment, to graduate college at the same time, and years before most of my peers."

Update: Trinity was immediately accepted into the Ivy League, Cornell Law School at 18 and is nearing the end of her third year! We are so proud of her!
