I’ve been with ASU Prep Digital since my sophomore year and it has been a wonderful experience. Not only are the teachers amazing, but I had the opportunity to earn college credits while still in high school. Thanks to ASU Prep I’ll be graduating with half of my nursing prerequisites done!"

– ASU Prep Digital high school student

ASU Prep Digital is very easy to navigate and I’m getting better grades than ever. At first, my mom was concerned about my social life, but it has actually blossomed. I have more time for my sport and my family life without troubling my parents with drop-off and pick-up lines at in-person school. We made an agreement that I need to run my own schedule to be successful; I run this like a job!"

What does a typical day look like?

This depends on you, your schedule, and how you best learn. While you’ll have a pace chart that guides what work is due weekly, it’s up to you to structure your days. You may find yourself working in a course, attending live lessons, doing offline research and participating in student clubs. There are countless opportunities and ways to tailor your schedule.

While you will attend online classes with peers, you will also have face-to-face opportunities in your community through academic and social events. To get a detailed look at a day-in-the-life of our students, check out the student story videos.

Watch our video: What does a typical day look like?

Will I be sitting in front of a computer all day?

Absolutely not! While your curriculum is based online, you will complete offline activities such as lab work, research, reading and collaboration with community, university and business partners to help deepen your understanding through experiences that engage you outside the virtual classroom.

Watch our video: Will I be sitting in front of a computer all day?

What time does school start and end each day?

Nope, it doesn’t work that way at ASU Prep Digital. While your teachers will plan specific times to meet with students to conduct live lessons, collaborate, or host tutoring sessions, your day starts and ends when YOU decide. To meet the rigor and demands of a college prep curriculum, a typical full-time student spends approximately 30 hours per week engaged in courses.

Some students love this freedom while others may struggle to figure out a groove. Don’t worry, you will have your very own Learning Success Coach to help you every step of the way.

Watch our video: What time does school start and end?

Is ASU Prep Digital accredited and NCAA approved?

Yes. ASU Prep Digital is accredited by Cognia, and our courses are approved by the NCAA. Accreditation ensures credits and diplomas are widely recognized for college admissions and transfers.

In numerous ways! Amazing teachers, technology tools and rigorous college prep coursework lay the foundation for a unique learning experience. At ASU Prep Digital, we help you gain the knowledge and training that will allow you to connect with peers both locally and across the globe. You will have the opportunity to complete projects, collaborate in live lessons, engage in discussion posts and more, with your online peers.

What if I fall behind and/or struggle?

Our goals for you are simple: graduate high school, seamlessly move on to attain your college degree, then compete in the global job market and contribute to your community.
