High School of America is an accredited online school that enrolls students in every county in Georgia, from Atlanta and Savannah to the towns off the interstate.

How to Earn Your High School Diploma Online in Georgia

For Georgia families, the choice between homeschooling and online enrollment often comes down to paperwork. Homeschooling under state law means filing an annual Declaration of Intent with GADOE, conducting standardized testing at grades 3, 6, 8, and a college-prep year, and tracking 180 instructional days. Enrolling in an school-issued online diploma program like High School of America moves those responsibilities to the school. Your student earns a recognized diploma from a school of record, aligned with the state’s 23-credit graduation framework, recognized by the Georgia Department of Education and by the University of Georgia (UGA), Georgia Tech, and employers nationwide. Here is what the path looks like:

Complete the Application: Submit our online application in 5 minutes, providing basic details to start your journey.
Transfer Prior Credits: Send transcripts from previous schools (e.g., Fulton County Schools or Savannah-Chatham County Schools) for a credit evaluation. Advisors credit what already counts, which can shorten the path.
Receive a Personalized Plan: Work with our academic team to create a tailored graduation roadmap. Whether targeting college admission or a career in the film industry, we incorporate core subjects, electives, and advanced options like Honors and AP.

Quick Answer

Do Georgia families need to file with the state to switch to online high school?

Usually, yes. Whether a district treats enrollment in an online private school as school attendance or as home education varies, and families who homeschool under Georgia’s rules file with the state or district and remain responsible for that compliance. High School of America provides structured online coursework, course records, transcript support and academic documentation that families can use for it. Check with your school district before you withdraw, so the paperwork is in place from the first day.
