The catalog lists every course offered in our adult diploma programs, grouped by subject. Use it to see the required and elective areas, then compare them with any high school credits you already have.
Starting with no credits
You can begin with no prior high school credits; your plan will cover the full credit requirement for your program.
Bringing prior credits
Send official transcripts and the Registrar reviews each course individually. Eligible credits may reduce what you need to take, but not every course transfers, and at least 6.0 credits must be completed at Learn Star Academy.
Learn Star Academy is designed exclusively for adult learners ages 18 and older. Our diploma program is thoughtfully organized to provide a clear path to graduation, beginning with essential core requirements in English, mathematics, science, social studies, and health/physical education. From there, students can personalize their educational experience by choosing from a diverse selection of elective courses aligned with their interests, career aspirations, and personal goals.
Course availability and content are reviewed regularly and may be updated to reflect current academic standards. Students are generally held to the graduation requirements in effect at the time of enrollment.
How Courses & Credits Work
Learn Star Academy awards credit through both traditional coursework and competency-based education (CBE) pathways. While many courses follow a structured model, select courses allow students to earn credit by demonstrating mastery of clearly defined competencies and learning outcomes. All courses are aligned with state graduation requirements and established high school credit equivalencies, providing students with flexible pathways to achieve their educational goals while maintaining rigorous academic standards.
Earning Credit
To earn credit for a course, students must demonstrate mastery of the course objectives by meeting all of the following minimum standards:
- A score of 60% or higher on the final exam.
- A score of 60% or higher on each writing assignment.
- A final course average of 60% or higher.
Pacing
Because the program is self-paced, you control how quickly you move. Adult learners have immediate access to final exams upon course completion. Estimated program completion is 2–6 months; some students finish in weeks, while others take several months or longer, depending on accepted transfer credits, motivation, available study time, and academic progress. Students have up to 18 months to complete their coursework and earn their diploma.
Reading This Catalog
Each course entry lists its title, credit value, and a brief description. Courses marked 1.0 are full-credit; courses marked 0.5 are half-credit (single semester).
This catalog lists Learn Star Academy's adult high school courses.
