High School

Laurel Springs prepares students to enter the college of their choice.

Laurel Springs is a WASC-accredited, private, online high school that offers a complete selection of core academic and elective courses required for graduation and admission to college. We emphasize critical thinking throughout our high school courses so that students are prepared for the rigor of college-level academics. We have an outstanding track record of helping students to enter the college of their choice and fulfill their academic and career ambitions. Our students’ SAT scores are above the national average, and 94 percent go on to college.

“Laurel Springs gave me a solid education and the flexibility to continue to film my Nickelodeon TV show, “iCarly,” while establishing my recording career.  All my coursework was interesting and challenging and the teachers were great. I was able to take my core work plus honors classes that prepared me for my acceptance into top colleges. Additionally, my experience in the National Honor Society gave me the opportunity to be involved in service projects that continue to be a big part of my life. Thank you, Laurel Springs, for giving me an education that has enabled me to look forward to a future that holds many possibilities.”

-Miranda Cosgrove; Actor, Recording Artist
