    Online school isn't for everyone, but this school will help you in any way you need. If you're struggling there's plenty of resources to guide you along the way. Also, the student body of Penn Foster is phenomenal! They are just a message away with any questions you might have while doing an assignment. I'm proud to be a part of Penn Foster!

    An amazing school! You go at your own pace, slow or fast, and meet all your goals! The teaching style is easy, simple, and anyone could understand. It is challenging but with hard work and dedication, it can be done! You will love the school because of its simplicity, academic readiness, and interesting subjects. You will be very ready for your academic future!
    Love the school! You are able to work at your own pace and unlike many other online schools, you are not required to complete assignments on a specific date. You also don't have to do assignments in a specific order, but you are required to complete all prerequisites before some of the courses will open. The classes are not that challenging so if you are looking for an online school that is academically challenging this may not be the right school for you. But since the classes are fairly easy, this leaves you with a lot of time to study other things that interest you. The teachers are super helpful. But the biggest downfall to most online schools is that it can be pretty hard to connect with your fellow classmates. They do have a website that allows you to join virtual clubs and the websit also has a section where you can post questions in a forum. Overall, I am very happy that I attended this school and that I was able to graduate at the age of 15.
