Diploma & Graduation

What are the graduation requirements?
Please visit the graudation page for a full list of graduation requirements.

Do students take the CAHSEE (California High School Exit Examination)?
As with all other State Mandated tests, students who are enrolled as full-time students at Insight School of California - Los Angeles are required to take the CAHSEE. Insight staff will make arrangements to have students take the CAHSEE in locations that are geographically close to where they live.

Will I receive a high school diploma?
Upon successful completion of all graduation requirements, yes, you will receive a diploma. Insight Schools is a public high school chartered through your local School District.

Can I transfer credits in from a homeschool portfolio? From standardized exams?
Absolutely. When your son or daughter graduates from Insight Schools, he or she will have a valid diploma from our district partnership in your state. With that diploma come all the records that are required for the college application process: valid transcripts, public high school SAT/ACT scores, teacher recommendations, school extracurricular activities, a student portfolio and culminating project.

There are additional benefits for college-bound students who graduate from Insight Schools:

• Students can choose from multiple academic options—AP (Advanced Placement), Honors, and College Prep—designed specifically to help pave the way for college admission. These academic options offer the necessary courses, preparation and challenges.
• Colleges and universities over the past several years have begun to appreciate that independent study programs such as Insight Schools often do a better job of preparing students for college because of important time management and individual responsibility skills they impart. Colleges are finding students from programs such as Insight Schools make the transition into college more readily than their many of their counterparts.
