Online School for Credit Recovery
Help your student get back on track and earn their high school diploma online with the help of K12’s online credit recovery courses.

Courses are offered year-round to fit unique schedules.
Diploma vs. GED: Which is Better?
Is a GED the same as a diploma? The simple answer is no. On the surface, a General Education Development (GED) program may sound like a good option for those looking at the benefits of possibly leaving conventional high school for a faster, more convenient route to graduation. GEDs, however, do not provide students with the same curriculum or opportunities after completion, nor do they provide students with a high school diploma.
A GED used to be considered the only alternative to a traditional high school diploma. It was a good option for students who left high school early, needed fast credit recovery, were entering the workforce, or wanted to pursue their education later in life.
K12-powered online schools offer students the flexibility they need to finish high school online while also pursuing other passions, interests, and commitments. Additionally, K12 guarantees that eligible students enrolled in our full-time public schools will graduate from high school.
