CURRICULUM

Our team firmly believes that learning is a lifelong process and is committed to continuous growth and improvement for our students and as an organization. As of May 2024, we have developed a new and improved version of our adult high school diploma program, which is known as Odyssey (referring to a journey we are embarking in this stage of life). This change was done after extensive research of comparable programs, evaluating our own student data, and passion from our team to see students through completion of our program and success in their lives/career.

C4L Academy is proudly accredited by Cognia: a global accrediting agency dedicated to ensuring continuous institutional growth using research-based standards to analyze education providers. You can find out more about how we were work with them here.

Students enrolled in C4L Academy’s High School Diploma Program must complete 170 credits to be awarded a diploma. Up to 130 of the required 170 credits can be earned through a combination of passing challenge exams and receiving transfer credits. To earn a diploma from C4L Academy, students must successfully complete a minimum of 40 credits through C4L courses taken in their entirety, in addition to the Orientation course.

To honor prior learning, we highly recommend that students submit an official transcript from any previously attended accredited schools so our team can evaluate it for potential transfer credits. Submitting the transcript as soon as possible will help determine the student’s path toward earning a high school diploma by identifying how many courses and credits are needed to graduate. This can also expedite the process of earning a diploma, depending on the number of courses eligible for transfer credit.
