The Pinnacle Online High School (Pinnacle) is an online high school located in the US state of Arizona. It is operated by the private company Pinnacle Education.
Courses are mostly supplemental and self-paced, for students hoping to "accelerate... education and finish early" or "make up credits" to graduate on time. Students are enrolled at traditional schools or homeschooling.
Founded "more than 13 years ago" (2011), Pinnacle has served more than 35,000 students.
Pinnacle uses online content and e-books (from e-Holt) in all courses. A "Virtual Learning Center" allows one-on-one help from teachers (during business hours).
The Pinnacle Online High School web site is at http://www.pinnacleonlinehighschool.com/

Partner Grand Canyon University (a private Christian university) allows students to earn high school and college credits simultaneously.
