How do students use the UM-ISHS program?

The UM-Independent Study High School provides opportunities for students in various circumstances to meet their educational needs. Among those served are students who:

  • are unable to attend a local school because they live in isolated areas;
  • are in countries outside the United States and are without access to an accredited high school diploma program from a school in the United States;
  • have dropped out of school but want to continue their education and earn a high school diploma;
  • have difficulty coping with time and place restrictions of a classroom and want toproceed at their own pace;
  • cannot attend a local school because they are homebound;
  • want to accelerate their high school progress;
  • need basic instruction to improve their skills; or
  • want a quality education in a home-school setting
