Why Students Choose Pinnacle

Students attend Pinnacle Online High School for a variety of reasons, but most enroll for credit recovery, to accelerate the pace of their education or to obtain an online high school diploma. Students can attend Pinnacle full-time, part-time, or can take classes while still attending classes at another high school.

Credit recovery – If a student has done poorly in a class at their traditional high school, or even failed, Pinnacle can help them erase that poor grade and even recover that lost credit. Our fully-accredited classes are transferable to any high school.

Accelerated study – Students eager to complete high school can attend Pinnacle in tandem with their traditional school to speed the arrival of their graduation date. Because students can work on their Pinnacle courses any time of the day, on weekends and even holidays, our classes don’t conflict with the demands of your traditional high school.

Degree program – Pinnacle offers a wide range of classes that allow students to obtain a high school diploma, which is looked upon more favorably by potential employers and college admission officers than a GED.

Since Pinnacle Online High School was founded more than 13 years ago, more than 35,000 students have found our school a welcome alternative to a traditional high school, providing a high quality learning experience without the constrictions on their schedule or their pace of learning.

Pinnacle Online High School is open entry, meaning that you can start classes any day of the year. Since classes are self-paced, students can study and learn any time of the day or night. The flexibility of the schedule allows students to participate in sports or other extra curricular activities, to work, to spend time with family or to attend to whatever is important in their lives.

Although students work at their own pace and dictate their schedule, they are never on their own. Pinnacle’s learning platform encourages students to be involved in peer discussions and group blogs, and allows for individual attention from their instructors. Students can engage their instructor by email at any time, and can speak by phone with an instructor from 7 a.m to 11 p.m. MST Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. MST on Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. MST on Saturday.

Pinnacle’s unique student accountability program closely tracks each students’ performance and prompts instructors to engage those students who are not participating or show a signs of having difficulties.
