My Online High School Experience
I decided to attend Pearson Online Academy because it was an affordable school that provides a credible American education. I liked how I could set my own schedule and pace. Also, I could choose what time of the day I studied. Sometimes I finished two months earlier, allowing me to focus on studying for Advanced Placement®* exams and SATs.
My favorite subjects were physics and calculus because that’s what I was drawn to. I tended to be independent in my studies, but I know I could count on my teachers when I had questions.
One of my favorite experiences at Pearson Online Academy was a seminar I did as part of National Honor Society. I got to help teach younger students how to study, especially in an online school environment.
I plan to attend a medical or biomedical program in Europe. Pearson Online Academy has helped me by providing a credible American diploma that’s recognized around the world.
I loved Pearson Online Academy because I could set my own pace.
