What are opinions on the online James Madison High School degree?

I go to this school. I am enrolled in the online college prep high school diploma. Their high school program is nationally AND regionally accredited, which is what people look for. Their college program is only nationally accredited which is kinda iffy. I'd recommend this school for the high school program though, I haven't had any problem.

Would Holmes Community College accept Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School Diploma?

Answer 1: Penn Foster High School is "regionally" accredited, which is exactly the same kind of accreditation that any city or county high school in America has. Penn Foster's career diplomas and college degrees, on the other hand, are not "regionally" accredited... but they're still accredited by an agency approved by the US Department of Education (USDE) and the USDE-sanctioned Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).So, therefore, both Penn Foster's high school program, as well as its career diplomas and college degrees, are all accredited by USDE- and/or CHEA-approved agencies. And with career diplomas and college degrees, it's not quite as important which USDE- and/or CHEA-approved angency has accredited them. However, with high schools, it'e better if the school is "regionally" accredited because most employers and colleges tend to only accept high school diplomas from "regionally" accredited schools. And Penn Foster understood that, and so it made sure that its online high school is "regionally" accredited.So, then, since Penn Foster High School is "regionally" accredited, virtually any college or employer should accept its diploma, exactly that same as they would accept a diploma from the city or county high schools in your neighborhood.Holmes Community College, then, will almost certainly accept a Penn Foster High School diploma. However, it always pays to call the college and ask. That's why they have telephones, and helpful people to answer them. Colleges are always happy to answer questions; don't be afraid to either call or stop in to ask them! Just make sure that whomever you talk to understands that while Penn Foster High School is an "online" high school program, it is nevertheless "regionally" accredited. Make sure they understand that so they don't make wrong assumptions and then give you misinformation.
