About this site

A guide, not a gatekeeper.

GeneralDiploma.com is a free directory of publicly available resources for online high school, homeschool, equivalency testing, and standardized test prep. We organize what's out there so you don't have to start from scratch — and we're upfront about what we don't do.

Why this directory exists

Researching online schools and homeschool curricula is overwhelming. Programs come and go, websites use confusing terminology, and accreditation is genuinely complicated. The information you need is mostly public — it's just scattered across hundreds of sites and not easy to compare side by side.

We collect, organize, and explain that publicly available information in plain language. We write category overviews, state-by-state guides, and long-form articles on specific topics like teaching ELA at home or preparing for the SAT. Then we point you to the programs and providers themselves so you can verify what matters for your situation.

What we do — and what we don't

We do

  • Collect publicly available information about online schools and homeschool programs.
  • Write explainers about state requirements, equivalency testing, and standardized tests.
  • Organize resources by category so they're easier to compare.
  • Link to programs and providers so you can investigate them directly.

We don't

  • Independently verify whether any program is currently accredited.
  • Rate, rank, or recommend specific programs.
  • Provide instruction, issue diplomas, or administer tests ourselves.
  • Guarantee that pricing, offerings, or eligibility is current.

How it's free

  • No subscription, no signup, no email collection.
  • Some product links on this site are affiliate links.
  • We may earn a small commission if you purchase through them, at no extra cost to you.
  • This never influences which programs we include or how we describe them.

How to use this site

Treat GeneralDiploma.com as your starting map. Browse the directory to find relevant categories, read our long-form articles when you want context, and check our state-by-state pages if your local rules matter (and for homeschool, equivalency, and online schools — they always do).

When a program catches your interest, click through to their own website. Confirm the accreditation status with the accrediting body itself (Cognia, WASC, DEAC, the state department of education, or whichever applies). Verify current pricing and offerings. Talk to people enrolled in the program if you can.
