There are a lot of online high schools. Just do your research and make sure they are legitimate and if possible accredited. I will add a link below of a site we learned a lot from. The first URL is the home page but the second link is some great reviews of specific online high schools.

In Missouri can you get your GED and your high school diploma?

A GED is a type of high school diploma.... Most people that have these are dropouts who decided they needed something... this makes it look bad on paper, unfortunately. Example: the US Air Force requires a high school diploma, or a GED and 15 credit hours from a university. Homeschooled kids usually get GED's, but this just means they are disadvantaged when they have to say that they've only got a GED. If you are applying for something, and it says you have to have a GED, a high school diploma way exceeds this requirement.

Is there a paralegal school that you do not need to have a high school degree?

Each state has its own rules for what kind of education a paralegal has to have. Some states, though, don't even specify.So, then, not knowing which state you're in, it's difficult to answer the question. However, regardless of state, most paralegal schools -- be they online, or in-classroom -- will, especially if they're accredited by an agency approved by the US Department of Education (USDE), and/or the USDE-sanctioned Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), require that the applicant has a high school diploma from a "regionally" accredited US high school.However, depending on your state, there may be a way to work around it... especially if your state has a "community college" system that's anything like California's, for example.Most people in California don't realize that any of that state's community colleges will admit -- even if only on probation -- a new applicant who never graduated from high school. If said applicant can, as a student, keep-up with college-level studies, then s/he may continue and go ahead and graduated, after two years of full-time study, with a "regionally" accredited associates degree! So, then, my point is that even though a high school diploma is highly desired by the school's in California's statewide community college system, the little secret they'd not like you to know is that Californians with no high school diploma can still apply and be admitted.I mention it because if the person who never got his/her high school diploma were a California resident; and if the paralegal training happened to be something that one of California's community colleges offered......then the person with no high school diploma could, indeed, enroll in said community college paralegal training -- be it certificate/diploma training, or be it an entire associates degree in paralegal studies -- and get said training that way.Just such a paralegal program is offered by Los Angeles, California's "Mission College," one of the colleges in that state's community college system. It offers either a certificate in paralegal studies, or an entire associates degree in it; and the former (the certificate) is available from Mission College either entirely online or entirely in the classroom; or the latter (the associates degree) is offered mostly online, and partly in the classroom. However, there are other schools in California's community college system which offer, online, most or all of the associates degree courses which Mission College would require in the classroom, and so it would be possible to take those courses from those schools, and then transfer them to Mission... thereby making the entire associates degree in paralegal studies online, too.And for California residents, the tuition is unbelievably low... under $50 per semester credit hour, last time I looked (but it keeps going up lateley, so I may have missed a recent increase... still, it's really cheap!).I've put a link to Mission College's paralegal studies program down in the "sources and related links" section of this web page, below.It's also possible to get at least some paralegal studies programs to waive the high school diploma requirement. They do it all the time for homeschooled kids who got a decent high school level education at home, but who, because of that, have no formal, government-issued high school diploma to show for it. If you weren't home-schooled, though, it's unlikely that they'd waive it unless you could show that you had the equivalent knowledge of a high school graduate.That's, in fact, what the GED is for: to establish, through testing, that you have the equivalent of a high school education, even though you didn't finish high school (or don't have a high school diploma for whatever other reason).Honestly, though, if I were an attorney, I would not want a paralegal in my law office who didn't have his/her high school diploma, even if s/he also had his/her paralegal training. A paralegal's having his/her high school diploma indicates that s/he has at least the bare minimum of education in life to be effective in my office; that she can read, and do math, and has at least some understanding of the other kinds of things typically taught in high school... all of which are important in a professional office environment. Anything less would simply not do... at least not in my law office. And most employers out there feel exactly the same way. Bypassing high school, regardless what other training you get, will hurt you in life... a lot.For that reason, I cannot more strongly suggest that you enroll in an online high school diploma completion program and just get the high school diploma and be done with it. Just make sure that the online high school in which you enroll is not a diploma mill; and that it's "regionally" (and not "nationally") accredited by one of the six big "regional" accreditors approved by USDE!Please! It's so important that it bears repeating: Whatever you do, make sure whatever online high school you enroll in is "regionally" accredited. And don't take the school's word for it. Figure out which of the six USDE-approved "regional" accreditors covers the state in which the online high school is physically located, and then go to said regional accreditor's website and verify that the online high school in question is accredited by it. Always independently verify! Never, ever trust the website of the online high school... at least not until you've independently verified its "regional" accreditation.The truth is that some online high schools are fairly inexpensive. That said, some, ridiculously, are as expensive as some colleges. Shame on them for that. But there are some darned inexpensive ones out there. You just have to hunt them down.Also, many states offer an online high school program for their residents who, for whatever reason, never finished high school. Some of them are even free! Do determine if your state offers anything like that!In the "sources and related links" section, below, I'm also including a link to a website by a fellow named Tom Nixon who has written two of the best books on the planet about getting a legitimate and accredited high school diploma either online or by some other non-traditional means. On that website, which is companion to one of his books, he lists all kinds of really excellent online high school programs......however, be warned: Tom also lists a few online high schools on his site that are excellent in terms of quality, but are nevertheless unaccredited. You absolutely need to stay away from the unaccredited ones because the bottom line in life is that unless a high school diploma is from a "regionally" accredited high school -- regardless whether it's of the online or in-classroom type -- then said diploma isn't worth the paper on which it's written. No employer, or college, or the military, or anyone else will accept a high school diploma which is not from a provably "regionally" accredited high school. Period. And all the contrary claims of the unaccredited high schools out there -- most of the diploma mills -- won't change that.Get the high school diploma. Seriously. Don't bypass that important life step.Once you have it, then your question, here, becomes moot, doesn't it.
