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.
Laurel Springs is different from other online high schools or traditional homeschooling. Our difference is in the relationships students cultivate with teachers, counselors, admissions coordinators, and peers. From individually-graded assignments, attention to unique learning styles and college counseling services, to one-on-one relationships with teachers and real-time school events and clubs, Laurel Springs combines all the benefits of a traditional private school with the flexibility of self-paced distance learning.

“Laurel Springs helped me learn more than just school-related work; it has helped me get better acquainted with myself. In my local public school, the teachers only taught me what they wanted me to learn. They did not teach me how to learn for the sake of learning or how to develop my own personal learning style. That was the main reason I switched to Laurel Springs School, and I am glad I did.”
“The remarkable flexibility of the curriculum allowed me to travel and pursue my own interests. Thanks to Laurel Springs, I am graduating with acceptances at my top pick colleges, and earned enough scholarships to make anything possible. At Laurel Springs, students are treated as individuals, not a collective. I could not have made a better choice when I chose Laurel Springs.”
“In traditional school, I could not work with my teachers on a one-to-one basis. I enrolled in Laurel Springs School, and from day one I was talking to my teacher on a regular basis. The close relationship with my teacher made my years at Laurel Springs the great experience that it was! I am going to college this fall, and I know I am prepared because of the confidence that Laurel Springs helped me gain.”
“I grew so much academically thanks to my wonderful teachers. My teachers were always supportive, and I met people that have become friends I will have for the rest of my life. I also participated in many groundbreaking extracurricular activities, like the first virtual Model United Nations conference. I wouldn’t change my experience at Laurel Springs for anything.”
“Laurel Springs provided such a good experience for my last two years of high school. I chose this school because I wanted a change from the typical public high school life, which I felt was painfully monotonous. Laurel Springs offered me flexibility and independence, and that freedom opened up more opportunities outside of my academic life. My teachers, as well as the school counselors and technical support staff, were friendly, knowledgeable and accessible. I found my coursework challenging but not stressful. I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to receive my education in such a unique way.”
