International Homeschool Offered Nationwide & Worldwide

Global Village School:
Based in Ojai, a city in Ventura County, Southern California, Global Village School is an international homeschool offering an accredited K-12 distance learning program to students across the USA and around the world. Our programs feature an online and text-based curriculum complete with individualized teacher services. Our high school homeschool diploma courses integrate peace, justice, and diversity studies with classic core subjects.

Global Village School is accredited by the National Association for the Legal Support of Alternative Schools (NALSAS). NALSAS is the accrediting arm of the National Coalition of Alternative Community Schools (NCACS).

How Global Village School Works:
Global Village School is a distance learning program, which means that students study at home (or, in special cases, at learning centers). Students are in regular contact with their teachers. They send their work via regular mail or e-mail, and can also contact their teachers by phone (or meet in person if they live locally). Students take a regular course load and high school students earn credits toward a diploma. Transcripts are provided so that students can apply to colleges of their choice.

High school students are free to choose from Web-based or text-based courses; most people prefer to take some of each. Each year-long course is divided into thirty-six lessons. Semester-long courses are eighteen lessons. Students access their Web-based lessons by downloadng them from our password-protected Web site. Text-based courses are accompanied by a written study guide.

Students receive credit when they have completed all the lessons. High school students are assigned a teacher for each course. They can correspond with their teachers via phone, mail, e-mail, fax, or in person if they live locally. Teachers are available to answer questions from students or parents.

Elementary students use text-based curriculum that covers the main subjects and have one teacher. They can correspond with their teachers via phone, mail, e-mail, fax, or in person if they live locally.

Absolutely, yes! Global Village provides full transcripts for graduating seniors.
