Studying at the American High School On-line is designed for students who dream of obtaining an American high school diploma that will enable them to study at universities around the world, including in Poland.

You can join the American High School program at JDJ IOS even in the third or fourth year of your high school. Thanks to over thirty years of experience in education and our proprietary methods of converting grades between different core curricula, we can admit a student to an American high school without the obligation to repeat the material they have already covered in their previous school.

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).

You can start studying at the American High School On-line 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 on-line tools.

Learning at the American On-line High School 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 video materials and text tasks, as well as quizzes that verify understanding of the content on an ongoing basis, module tests allowing for systematic progress monitoring, and project tasks (like in university courses) that help consolidate knowledge in a natural and practical way. The purpose of these solutions is to develop independence, systematic work and the skills in covering academic material – things that are sorely lacking in the Polish high school education.

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. This is an ideal solution for students who want to learn at their own pace and at convenient hours, combining education with their passions, travel or sport.

The standard duration of the school year is 10 months, with the possibility of extending it by an additional 2 months 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.

Schools in the US – including the JDJ IOS American High School On-line – 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.

At our school students can expand their standard curriculum with AP (Advanced Placement) courses that are highly valued by universities and collages around the world. Completing these courses allows you to accumulate academic credits while still in high school, and high scores on AP exams can lead to exemptions from some courses in the first year of college, which reduces the learning time and lowers the cost of education.

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.

Why American High School On-line? 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. The US High School 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.

Organizing a year-long trip to a school abroad or attending a full-time international school in Poland implies very high costs – even as much as several dozen or several hundred thousand zlotys per year.

In this context, the American Baccalaureate On-line with JDJ IOS offers an affordable path. Our programs provide an authentic US school experience aligned with the Common Core Standards and Cognia accreditation, guaranteeing the highest level of document credibility.

Our American High School On-line 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.
