College Prep Online School
For parents of ambitious students, the anxiety around university admissions is real. The landscape has shifted, and it is no longer just about grades. It’s also about strategy, differentiation, and rigor. Holston Academy is designed to meet this challenge.
We are a dedicated online college prep high school, purpose-built for students who aim high. We do not just teach the curriculum, we help students build the independent skills and competitive transcripts that universities look for, turning high school students into competitive college applicants.

Build a Transcript That Stands Out
In a sea of generic applications, top colleges want to see students challenging themselves. Holston Academy offers online college prep classes for high school students that provide a clear advantage. Through our partnership with Arizona State University (ASU) for Dual Enrollment and our robust catalog of Advanced Placement® (AP®) courses, your student can prove their readiness before they ever set foot on a college campus.
The data supports this approach. A recent report from the Community College Research Center (CCRC) found that 81% of dual enrollment students enrolled in college shortly after high school, significantly outperforming their peers. With Holston Academy, your student can start earning college credits now, demonstrating the academic maturity that admissions officers look for.
Expert Guidance for College-Bound High School Students
Traditional guidance counselors are often overwhelmed. According to the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), the national student-to-counselor ratio sits far above the recommended level at 376:1. This leaves many students navigating the complex maze of college admissions alone.
At Holston Academy, we close that gap. Every student is paired with a dedicated Academic Coach who has the time to be a true mentor. They help enhance your college transcript, identify “best fit” universities, and manage critical application timelines. This personalized strategy ensures college-bound high school students have the advocacy and support they need to succeed, fostering a love of lifelong learning throughout the process.
Developing the Independence Universities Demand
Our mastery-based, asynchronous model mimics the university schedule, allowing students to learn time management, self-advocacy, and task initiation in a supported environment. By managing their own daily and weekly schedule, Holston Academy students develop the resilience that makes them better able to handle their college years.
Accredited Pathways to Top-Tier Universities
As a college prep online high school, validation is key. Holston Academy holds premier accreditation from WASC and Cognia, and many of our courses are NCAA and UC a-g approved. This means our diploma is accepted by universities worldwide.
From our rigorous Upper School coursework to our focus on social and emotional growth, we ensure our graduates are ready to get into college and thrive once they arrive. You can see the results in our college-bound students who have moved on to competitive institutions across the country.
