SATELLITE HIGH SCHOOL FOR INDEPENDENT STUDIES
e-mail address:  highschl@Tyrell.net

Over 25% of all adults in the United States 
do not have high school diplomas.  If that 
includes you or someone you know, you can 
now earn diplomas on the Internet!  Ages 
14 to 100, all students are welcome.

Take high school classes in the comfort and 
privacy of your own home.  Download the classes 
you need from the Internet, study at home, 
then take monitored tests in your own 
neighborhood.

Each 1/2 credit class costs $49.  There are 
classes in English, history, math, science, 
and life skills.  You can improve practical 
skills such as reading and math or take 
college-bound classes such as calculus and 
Shakespeare.  Each class has about 15 chapters 
and 100 pages.  We have carefully written or 
chosen books that have short chapters, all of 
the important information, and are written 
in language that makes sense to ordinary people.

There is no homework.  All grades are based on 
tests.  Each chapter has 40-50 multiple choice 
questions to study.  The chapter test is 25-30 
of those same questions, so you know exactly 
what you have to learn.  There are tests after 
each chapter, quarter, and semester.  Tests can 
be oral.  There are several forms of each test, 
so you can retake as many tests as you want to.  
The test scores are averaged.

Go at your own speed.  Take a day or a month 
to learn each chapter.  Do one class at a time 
or several.  Start, stop, or take a vacation 
anytime.  There are no deadlines.  School is open 
24 hours a day, 12 months a year.  If you need help 
with anything, just ask us on e-mail.  Our job is 
to help you.

Transfer Satellite credits to your own high school 
(with their approval), take classes just for fun 
or to get a better job, or graduate from Satellite 
High School.  This is a diploma program; it is 
not a GED.  Graduation requirements:  4 credits 
English, 4 history, 4 math, 4 science, and 4 life 
skills, plus a final competency test over all five 
areas.  We accept up to 15 credits from previous 
high schools.  Satellite graduates have permanent, 
free access to all future classes.

Satellite High School is a private, alternative 
school, founded in 1994.  It is dedicated to helping 
anyone who wants to earn a high school diploma 
and everyone who wants to lead a happier, 
more fulfilling life.
