Excell high school fake or not fake
January 28, 2019 at 3:02 pm
I want infos about "Excel High School" ( http://www.excelhighschool.com/  ) who say it's a legitimate school that deliver "High School Diploma" over Internet.

I'm sceptical about this statement because I don't think we can get a legit diploma from Internet.
I think it's a rogue school. Am I right ?

They say there are accredited by the non-profit , non-governmental organization AdvancED ( http://www.advanc-ed.org/oasis2/u/par/accreditation/summary?institutionId=25182 ) and that is true.
This High School is listed as a non-public school in a website of Minnesota Department of Education under the tag 0284-31-022 : http://w20.education.state.mn.us/MdeOrgV...show/14842

You can read there some of their claims : https://www.excelhighschool.com/accreditation.php

It's weird but this school or pseudo-school is registered in the University of California a-g course program : https://hs-articulation.ucop.edu/agcours...ution/5060

Is this a mill diploma like I think ?

Gosh, if only there were some way you could find this out on your own.  I dunno, maybe some sort of electronic device connected to a world-wide web of knowledge and information.  It'd be extra sweet if you could do it from the comfort of your own home.

My guess is that they are running legit GED prep courses. It says in their literature that you cannot take the GED test online.
I didn't look into what they are charging for GED prep courses, but my guess is that there are less expensive ways to prepare for the GED.

A high school diploma isn't a GED (General Education Development : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Ed...evelopment ) because a GED is an alternative of a US high school diploma.
Therefore you say they speak about a GED instead of a high school diploma ?

I read the content of the website and I understood we can have a high school diploma with them.
I understood they don't give only the possibility to get a high school diploma but also the possibility to prepare for GED.
I understood they offer these two services.


I received a marketing email from them that began with the sentence below (I registered myself to the mailing-list).
"Did you know that we issue the very same accredited high school diploma as the public high schools?"

I suspect it's a fake but weirdly they are operational since many years.
