Curriculum Overview for One Of The Best Online High Schools

The goal of Oaks Christian Online high school is to provide rigorous, college-prep 100% online courses. Our online high school students go on to their choice of four-year colleges. We offer high school students two tracks for graduation – an honors or standard diploma. Students who complete a standard diploma meet most college admissions requirements, including University of California schools. Honors diploma students go above and beyond, completing Honors and AP courses throughout their four years.
