The American School
The American School has been used for hundreds of years and has been vital to many families who travel or otherwise find the public school system not workable for them. On the American School website there is a list of famous celebrities, sports figures, etc. who benefited from this system. Missionaries and other families who may not reside where their children can attend a formal school setting have found the American School a perfect solution. Our own children finished high school using the American School. That was before the internet, so their courses were mailed to them. They had regular telephone contact with their teachers and they thrived in this system. Graduation diplomas are issued through the state of Illinois, where the American School is headquartered.
This solution isn't for everyone, but it definitely works for many.
From Wikipedia:
The American School, also known as the National System, represents three different yet related constructs in politics, policy and philosophy. It was the American policy from the 1790s to the 1970s, waxing and waning in actual degrees and details of implementation. Historian Michael Lind describes it as a coherent applied economic philosophy with logical and conceptual relationships with other economic ideas. It is the macroeconomic philosophy that dominated United States national policies from the time of the American Civil War until the mid-20th century. Closely related to mercantilism, it can be seen as contrary to classical economics.
The American School's key elements were prompted by John Quincy Adams and his National Republican Party, Henry Clay and the Whig Party and Abraham Lincoln through the early Republican Party which embraced, implemented and maintained this economic system. During its American System period, the United States grew into the largest economy in the world with the highest standard of living, surpassing the British Empire by the 1880s.
