It’s a familiar story. Military kids leaving behind their friends at one base, and then having to re-adjust at a new school. Sometimes more than once during a school year. Military parents are sensitive, but when the transfer order comes in - military personnel have no choice but to start packing.
According to a U.S. Department of Defense report, there are well over a million military kids attending U.S. public schools, and that number is expected to rise. Second only to family, school is the most important stabilizing force in the lives of young people. It’s not uncommon for military children to move as many as 15 times before graduating from high school.
Education curriculum and education requirements can vary tremendously between states and between school districts. However, for service members, distance education is one way to ensure that their high school children’s education isn’t interrupted each time a new duty station calls. Whether based in California or Germany, parents can feel confident that their child is receiving a consistent, accredited high school diploma.
Distance education institutions like Ashworth High School can provide serious relief for military families with high school age children. Students have the option of receiving a diploma from Ashworth or quickly making up lost credits. Ashworth High School is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and offers diplomas at the general education or college preparatory level – either correspondence or online.
