Online High School Dimploma?

I've be even thinking of getting a diploma online and so far, I've found ISHS from UNL and MU high school

http://highschool.unl.edu/
http://muhigh.missouri.edu/

I've also heard about Laurel Springs and Keystone. Can anyone here please help me out on choosing which ones better?

Thanks!

I love your user name! Unfortunately, I can't help with your question, because my son did homeschooling and we printed a diploma.

Why do you want a diploma? That may help people understand what you're asking and what's the best advice. As GeekMom said, you can make your own if you want one. They are really just ceremonial anyway.

Or do you mean, not simply a diploma, but a full online high school program, curriculum, grades, transcripts, etc., from which you'd graduate?

Im only 14 but i do plan to go to college. I would like to take a full high school program
I don't live in America and the government here doesn't allow parents to homeschool their kids so it isn't an option for me

I have no direct experience with these but the programs I hear others speak of the most often are Laurel Springs, Keystone and Oak Meadow. There are others, including quite a few with a Christian bent.

I have heard good things about BYU Home Study and Oak Meadow. Though if you dont follow a certain belief set it may cause some slight problems

I thought Oak Meadow looked good and I know some people who prefer that to Keystone.

I would use Connections if I could use it free. Otherwise, it would be Oakmeadow. And I might use EPGY is cost were not an issue.

However, I am likely going to issue my own diploma for my home schooled children (I am in Texas so I can).

My children used NARHS and they were very easy to work with. You can read about this option here: NARHS | Your diploma, your way!
