Is American High School Online for Adults something for me?
Studying at the American High School is designed for people who dream of obtaining an American high school diploma that opens up the possibility of going to university, changing a profession or making a real distinction of their candidacy on the job market.
The recommended level of English proficiency for comfortable learning at the high school level is at least B1 (lower-intermediate). If you have any doubts about your language level, we encourage you to verify it by taking a certified ELTiS test (with us).
Starting your courses
You can start studying at the American High School Online for Adults at any time of the year, from anywhere in the world. Teaching materials are available round the clock, and each school year lasts 10 months from the moment of activation of the student’s account.
JDJ IOS is a comprehensive ecosystem of solutions that enables and supports remote learning, available 24/7, 365 days a year. Not only does it allow you to use the educational platform from anywhere in the world, but also it supports uninterrupted communication with teachers from the US through a variety of online tools.
Methods and learning
Learning at the high school for adults at JDJ IOS is based on a modern Learning Management System (LMS) that provides students with access to a wide range of didactic materials. The educational process is structured and interactive – it includes both video materials and text tasks, as well as quizzes for the ongoing verification of the understanding of the content and project tasks. The aim of these solutions is to create a flexible system that adapts to the student’s daily commitments, such as childcare or work, not the other way around.
Thanks to the asynchronous learning formula, flexible solutions and modular lessons, there is no need to take brick-and-mortar exams. All you need to keep on learning is a computer and a stable Internet connection. It is an ideal solution for working people who combine learning with work.
The standard duration of the school year is 10 months, with the possibility of extending it by an additional month if necessary. Students can also accelerate their learning by completing all required school work (Assignments & Assessments) earlier.
Contact with teachers from the USA takes place within the framework of flexible consultations which are determined primarily by the student’s needs.
American Core Curriculum
Schools in the US – including our online school for adults – focus on developing key 21st century competencies: communication, critical thinking, collaboration and self-reliance. The tasks are primarily about presenting and defending your own views, rather than adapting to an assessment key.
JDJ International Open Schools is part of the JDJ Bachalski group with over 30 years of experience in education, which makes us the undisputed leader in this industry in Poland.
American Baccalaureate Opportunities
Why should you enroll at the American High School Online for Adults? In the era of dynamic shifts on the international arena, the accredited American High School Diploma is a document appreciated by employers and universities around the world, including in Poland. Such a diploma opens up wider application options compared to the traditional Polish ‘Matura’ and often shortens the university recruitment path. Additionally, when applying to English-speaking universities, you generally do not need to take any language exams (IELTS, TOEFL).
The right selection of subjects – including Honors, Advanced Placement (AP) and NCAA-approved courses for young athletes – enables informed preparation for further education.
JDJ educational mentors support students in both defining their further walks of life and in completing a university application process.
Affordable
For adults, organizing a year-long school trip abroad or part-time studies in Poland is often associated with high costs and fatigue, and above all, the need to reorganize professional and family life.
In this context, the American high school online for adults provides an affordable and convenient way to obtaining a fully-fledged American diploma. The program has been designed with adults in mind, allowing them to learn at their own pace and combine it with work as well as other responsibilities. At the same time, it provides an authentic experience of a US school aligned with the Common Core Standards, guaranteeing high credibility of the diploma obtained.
Recognition and Accreditation
Our American High School Online programs are run on the exclusivity basis with an American High School curriculum provider accredited by Cognia (SACS CASI) and listed in the official register of private institutions maintained by NCES (National Center for Education Statistics), a federal statistical agency operating within the U.S. Department of Education, a part of the Federal Statistical System of the United States.
In practice, this means an authentic American educational experience and covering the materials that comply with the highest Common Core Standards as well as the requirements of the Florida school district. Furthermore, the subjects are approved by the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association), which – in the case of choosing subjects approved by the NCAA – allows you to apply for athletic scholarships at prestigious American universities.
The American High School Diploma is recognized by universities around the world, including Poland. Graduates of the American High School Program at JDJ study at universities ranging from South Korea, through Poland and Germany, to the United States.
