While doing a search for my daughter, I came across Continental Academy (http://www.continentalacademy.com). They claim accreditation from CITA and SACS.

While this doesn't appear to be a great school, it definitely seems to be the most affordable school ($395 for the whole school, or $40 a month till you reach $450). They do have an online version for adults over 16 years, and a traditional home-study with printeda material for students who are 16+.

I wish if Tom Nixon can provide a better review on this school

While I think in many ways, you get what you pay for, Continental Academy is accredited. How can they offer such a cheap program? My guess is that they are hoping for quantity of students (as opposed to quality).

This does not make it a bad choice, but you would want to examine how the courses are taught very closely. Typically, programs are not this inexpensive unless they are a governmental program of some kind.

I believe the key, though, is that the online version is only available for 18 year olds and above. They call it their EAGLE program.

If you are younger than 18, you only have access to printed materials which is how they keep the costs down.
