Graduation & Diploma Information
At Help Anchor Academy, we are committed to providing a high-quality education that prepares students for their future. While our accreditation is currently pending, we anticipate full accreditation by the 2026-2027 school year.
Diploma Options
Students who complete the required coursework will receive a Help Anchor Academy diploma. While this diploma is valid for homeschool and private school students, some colleges or employers may require additional verification.
Alternative Graduation Pathways
For students graduating during the 2025-2026 school year, here are additional options:
-
GED (General Educational Development Test) – Some students may opt for a state-recognized high school equivalency diploma.
College & Career Considerations
Many trade schools, community colleges, and technical programs do not require a diploma from an accredited high school for admission. Instead, they accept homeschool diplomas or require placement testing. Additionally, students planning to attend a four-year university can apply with a homeschool transcript and standardized test scores (if required by the institution).
Our team is available to guide families in choosing the best path for their student’s post-graduation goals. If you have any questions, please contact us.
