Thank God for Continental Academy. My son was always having some kind of missteps in high school. Continental Academy is a blessing. It took him around a year to finish, but they were very considerate of his needs and ways. Well, now he is working full time at DMV!

As a public school teacher of 32 years, I'm impressed with Continental Academy. In life, you get what you pay for! My son finished the program in six months. Their curriculum is well structured, focused, and the technology is student friendly. What impressed me the most was the degree of involvement the Academy has in the student's progress and daily school activities. Thumbs up for Continental Academy!

Be careful using this school. My son took their classes to get high school diploma on time for his age, because he was held back in third grade. He graduated last year. After alot of research and speaking with Continental Academy, they assured me it would be accepted at colleges. He wants a career in Firefighting. He went through all of the classes and courses and passed with flying colors. The Fire department said he was first on the list to hire, but could not because they will not accept the diploma. He has also found out that most colleges will not accept it. He will have to get GED now. So, he did not get hired. All that money and now my son is suffering due to their negligence.

Open Door Education has found me a job. So I would like to tell others who may be in New York and need a job they should go to Open Door Education for Continental Academy's program. I have also been accepted into a college. Whoever has said that this program is a fake really do not k now what they are talking about. Through Open Door Education I have had no problems.

Continental Academy's High School Proficiency diploma is good enough for me. Look, there is no way I can pass the state high school exit exam or the GED. I have been up to bat 3 times already. I was able to graduate from CA in 3 months and I now have my high school proficiency diploma and that is good enough for me. In life you have to be realistic on what you can do and not do!

Continental Academy is my BIG +. I could of graudated from my local public school, but I chose not to graduate. I could of gotten my GED, I didn't have the discipline. I only have myself to blame. Then I found Continental Academy online courses. It was great, I really enjoyed it. I know that I can not go to Harvard. But Continental Acdemy has benefited me at work and as a person. It has made me feel good of myself as a person. Continental Academy is my big + of my 32 years of living. Thank you, you have helped me!

I tried the GED twice with no success. I'm not willing to attend the night time high school program. I enrolled with Continental with my eyes wide open. They spell everything out for you in an easy to understand manner. I understood that I wasn't going to college with this diploma. However, I was able to get a casino job with excellent benefits because I earned my high school diploma at Continental Academy. Eight months ago I did not qualify for the job. I can't thank Continental enough. Go Continental !!!

I found Continental Academy to be a great value. I just finished Continental Academy's PACE program and I am highly satisfied with the school, staff and its tuition. For $250 this 43 year old lazy feels good about herself. Thank you Continental Academy.

I am so grateful to the staff and founders of Continental Academy for giving me the opportunity to finish High School on their website. I appreciate it greatly. I learned so much and I'm so glad that I was able to graduate. Now I can go out and get my life started. I thank them so much.

Hi, I am a student s mom and I am so proud of my son and his accomplishment. I owe it to, not just the hard work and dedication he put forth, but to Continental Academy. This program was the perfect fit for him, with his immune deficiency it was hard for him to go to public schools without getting sick, missing days, and falling behind. Continental Academy was a blessing to our family. This being said I am happy that Continental Academy not only helped my son achieve a high school diploma, but his father has just enrolled into the P.A.C.E. program. At an early age, he was left to survive on his own and had to quit school to work. Recently, he was hurt at work and has been pretty much bed ridden. The last few days I've talked to him about your program for adults to receive their high school diploma. Not only do I think it will give him something to do during the hours he is stuck in the house while myself and my son are at our jobs (yes, my son has already received a full-time job), I believe it will give him the sense of proud and self worth that he has lacked for many years. I am thankful from the bottom of my heart for what this educational program has done for my family!

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
