Online School for International Students
While moving to a new country can be an adventure, finding the right school can be a stressful experience. For expat and international families, there are constant challenges to securing a quality, stable education. From navigating school transfers and making sure a mid-year move does not set your student back, selecting a school is one of the top concerns for families living abroad.
Holston Academy provides the educational anchor your family needs. We are more than just an online school for international students. We are a consistent, high-quality partner that travels with you. No matter where your life or career takes you, your student’s “classroom” remains the same, ensuring they earn an accredited U.S. diploma recognized by universities worldwide.
A U.S. Education That Travels With You
International schooling can be unpredictable, with varying quality and standards of local options. With Holston Academy, you can eliminate the uncertainty. As a premier U.S. online school for international students, we offer a flexible, rigorous education that moves with your family, providing a continuous learning path without interruption.
No matter where you are in the world, your student’s academic progress is secure. They receive the same challenging instruction as their peers in the United States, keeping them on track for their future goals. You can read our student success stories to see how other traveling families have found stability with us.
Recognized Accreditation for Global University Access
We hold accreditation from WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) and Cognia, and many of our courses are NCAA-approved.
This means your student will graduate with credentials that matter. Universities and colleges around the globe recognize this level of accreditation, giving you peace of mind that your child’s hard work will open doors to their future.
Flexible Schedules for Every Time Zone
Living in a different time zone should not mean waking up at 2 a.m. for class. At Holston Academy, we operate on a flexible, asynchronous model. This allows students to create a customized daily and weekly schedule during their peak productive hours, whether it is morning in London or afternoon in Dubai.
Research supports this student-centered approach, with studies finding that asynchronous learning is just as effective as live instruction in improving academic outcomes and student satisfaction, while offering superior flexibility. This model is perfect for families who travel frequently, as well as high-performance athletes and performers who need a schedule that adapts to them.
Personalized Support From Dedicated Academic Coaches
Online learning can feel isolating, but not at Holston Academy. Every student is paired with a dedicated Academic Coach who serves as their mentor, advocate, and personal guide throughout their Upper School journey.
Your Academic Coach provides the essential human connection that fosters success. They help students select courses, manage their time, and navigate academic challenges, instilling a love of lifelong learning along the way. This consistent, one-to-one support ensures that even if your physical location changes, your child’s core support system stays exactly the same.
Prepare for the Future With Advanced Coursework
Competition for entry into U.S. universities is global. With more than 1.1 million international students studying in the United States, it is crucial to have a transcript that stands out. Holston Academy prepares your student for this competitive landscape.
We offer more than 300 courses, including honors tracks, dual enrollment, and a full range of Advanced Placement® (AP®) courses. This rigorous coursework demonstrates a student’s readiness for college-level challenges and gives them an edge on their applications.
