Keystone National High School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Keystone National High School is an accredited private correspondence school for earning a high school diploma as part of a distance education or homeschool program, based in Pennsylvania. The school's first courses were introduced in 1974 as part of the Learning and Evaluation Center. Keystone took on its current name and became a major part of the homeschool market in 1994. Over 200,000 have taken or are taking their educational programs.

KNHS offers diploma programs, as well as a choice of correspondence courses (exams are sent in to the school) or online courses (exams are submitted over the Internet). Honors classes are available, and the course catalog ranges from Pre-algebra and Remedial Grammar to World Literature, Biology Lab and Calculus I. Over 140 major universities and colleges accept the credits that Keystone students (informally Keystoners) earn. For its students, KNHS offers links to Internet resources, live chat and message capabilities with instructors, and message boards. Advisary teachers are available for consultation and questions by email or over the phone.

Many homeschoolers have elected to follow up with Keystone after graduating from other similar programs such as the Calvert School Home Instruction Program. Keystone is a pioneering institution in the field of correspondence education, as they were one of the first such distance learning high schools geared for college-bound homeschooling students.
