The diploma
What the Lehigh Acres online high school diploma looks like
A school-issued diploma, not a family certificate.
When your student graduates, they receive an official high school diploma issued by an established private school, the same kind issued by any brick-and-mortar school. It carries an official transcript with a registered CEEB code, which colleges, employers, and the military use to verify it.
Credits transfer in from any Lehigh Acres public or private school. You never repeat what you have already earned. See how colleges read private-school and homeschool transcripts.

Credits, GPA & transcripts
Grades, credits, and GPA for Lehigh Acres online high school
Florida’s standard diploma takes 24 credits. You earn one credit per semester-length course, and every passing grade (70 or above) earns the credit. GPA is calculated the same way as any school (A = 4.0, B = 3.0), and honors courses can carry extra weight. See the full high school grading scale or use the grade-to-percentage conversion chart to understand exactly where a grade sits.
Credits you have already earned at any Lee County school transfer in, so you only complete what is left, never repeat what you have done. Struggling in the final stretch? How to recover credits and graduate on time.

Florida law
Is online high school legal in Lehigh Acres, Florida?
Yes. Florida gives families two legal routes, and one of them skips the paperwork.
If you teach independently at home, Florida’s home education law (Florida Statute 1002.41) requires the parent to handle a few requirements. For a plain-English overview of what Florida requires and how it compares to other states, see homeschool laws by state.
File a Notice of Intent
Send written notice to the Lee County school district superintendent within 30 days of starting home education.
Keep a portfolio
Maintain records and samples of the student’s work and the educational materials used.
Annual evaluation
Have the student’s progress evaluated each year and keep the results on file.
The simpler route: enrolling at High School of America places your student in an established private school, which satisfies Florida’s compulsory attendance requirement directly: no Notice of Intent, no portfolio, no annual evaluation. If your student is currently at a Lee County school, you withdraw there and we handle the records request. New to this entirely? How to start homeschooling in 2026 covers every first decision.
