Get Your High School Diploma On Your Terms
Every online school tells you they are the best because they are 24/7, easily accessible, accredited, and affordable. At C4L Academy, we believe these things are the bare minimum.
There are four pillars that raise us above and beyond.
1. Our curriculum is built for your life now, not how it was when you were in school
Unlike other online schools whose courses are designed to get you into college, our courses are designed to increase your confidence and provide opportunities by using experiences from adult life to drive curriculum development. As you earn your diploma, you will learn valuable skills and tools that you can use in everyday life.
"I found the Science, English, and Math to be helpful with my life. The English was most helpful for me because I had trouble forming bigger sentences when speaking at work."
— Josue G.
2. You have the freedom to take our courses in any order
Our program recognizes that you know what is best for you. We respect your ability to choose your own path, rather than telling you what to do. After the Introduction section, our core curriculum courses can be taken in whichever order suits you best!
"I would go about the course in a random order because whenever I got stuck on a course, I’d go to the next one and then come back. The courses were self explanatory. The videos really taught me a lot."
— Linda M.
3. You can challenge multiple courses to get credit for what you already know
We have no desire to waste your time or take additional money from you by forcing you to re-learn things you already know. If you feel confident with a specific course, you can take what we call a “Challenge Exam”. If you score 75% or higher, the score you receive will be your grade for that class!
"I lost my transcript and did not want to go through a High School program start to finish. Luckily y’all allowed me to challenge each course which let me to finish quicker than expected. I’m glad I went through with your program."
— Dominic F
4. Our curriculum has been designed to be mobile-first
We know adult life is busy, and relying on the ability to be at a laptop or desk is often impossible. Our courses were designed from the bottom up to work perfectly on your phone—no more squinting or trying to pinch a video. By designing for mobile-first, we make it easy for you to learn on the go.
"I was not sure how to take C4L’s online school because I work all the time. They said I can do it on my phone and that really helped me. I worked on it during my lunch breaks and complete it within 6 months."
— Luis F

Understanding World History and how various historical events impacted the United States are the core of the two history courses we provide. Our goal is to have you graduate feeling informed on matters that directly affect your life.
Similar to the rest of our curriculum, our approach is to demystify science by making it relevant to you.
