Frequently Asked Questions
Question: I'm more than just a bit uneasy about the decision to start
DIPLOMA from American High School Illinois Can you help me to
determine what I need to do to make sure I'm doing everything I
should be doing?
Answer:
Absolutely.). We will help you develop a "roadmap" of how to get
started and stay on track. We won't teach your child(ren) for you,
but we will be available to help you make wise decisions all along
the way.
Question: I have been told that you will also help me with matters such
as student evaluations, recordkeeping, ID cards, transcripts,
diplomas, graduation and getting into college or the military. No
one with whom I've spoken has offered all these services. Why do
you?
Answer:
Without sounding haughty about it, we believe we're unique in
several ways, one of which is that we work hard at serving our
customers, helping them to be as successful at their schooling
experience as possible. There are two primary reasons why. First, we
truly have a heart for distance learning We honestly believe it
is the right choice for many, many families. Take a look at the
page on this web site entitled "our
course Benefits." On that page is but a partial list of
the many benefits of our course over all other methods, public or
private. We've experienced many of these benefits ourselves.
Secondly, it makes good business sense. If we help you as much as
possible this year, it is reasonable to believe that you will at
least contact us next year when it comes time to acquire your
curriculum...and, hopefully, the year after that, and the year after
that, etc., etc., etc.
Question: You mentioned that The
American High School Illinois USA was unique in several ways in
addition to customer service. What are some of the other areas that
set you apart from some of the other schools I'm considering?
Answer:
There certainly are quite a few ways in which we are unique from
others. Here are but a few areas that we believe set us apart.
1. We can tailor our curriculum around the academic
needs of your student. There is no "curriculum in a box -- 1 size
fits all" with us. That approach to education doesn't work very
well. In fact, it's part of the problem with "mass education".
Everybody must do nearly everything in the same way as everyone
else. We call this the "cookie-cutter kid" approach to curriculum
design and it's purpose is to provide conformity and management of
large numbers of students. Our approach is completely opposite to
this...build a curriculum around the academic needs of the student
instead of trying to make the curriculum "fit" the student!
2.
Many items in our curriculum are unique to The American High School
Illinois . Here is a sampling of just a few of them...
1. A component that teaches strong character qualities through the
use of classical music!
2.
Readers for young children similar to the "Dick and Jane" readers of
the 1940's & 1950's. However, we have a series of readers that are
"old, but also new"! What we mean is that they are "old" in the
sense that the readers in this series were actually published in the
1950's. THEY ARE NOT REPRINTS! However, they are "new" because they
have never been used at all -- they are virtually brand new. Both
parents and children love these full color, hardback, readers.
3
A Study Skills program beginning in the 3rd grade.
4
Foreign language beginning in the 3rd grade.
3. We offer quick, inexpensive and accurate methods
for determining where your student is academically. No waiting for
weeks and weeks for results...and no "nationally normed" results.
4.
Our curriculum prices are very, very modest...we invite you to
compare all that we offer to our customers to what others offer. We
stand by our curriculum in terms of its content, its quality and its
price! We don't believe you will find another curriculum that offers
all that we offer at anywhere near the low price we charge. Go
ahead, check us out on this.
5.
Lastly, we know our curriculum works! We know this because many,
many of our customers tell us it is working for them,. More
importantly, we know it works because we have used it ourselves! As
a result, a major part of our business philosophy is that we will
not offer for sale to any of our customers a curriculum, or other
product or service, that we would not use (or have not already used)
ourselves. |
