Francis School
The Francis School offers - or previously offered - private online courses to students missing credits to complete their high school diplomas. Its mission is to make school available to students who need to take classes outside of the traditional setting.
Students are able to receive an accredited high school diploma through Francis School, which is located in the US state of New York. Students must be 18 years or older to enroll in this programme. International students are accepted. Courses are taken on a fee-paying basis, and generally ranges from $275 to $350 each.
Note: it is not clear whether the Francis school is still operational, as of September 2011.
