High school isn't just about earning a diploma. It's your launchpad to college and beyond. Get ready for college success by intentionally aligning your high school coursework with preparation for college success.
If you’re not quite ready for college-level classes, Northern State E-Learning offers College Readiness courses to help bridge the gap. Juniors and seniors can take Year-Long College Algebra or English 101 to build skills, skip remedial classes, and save over $500 and a semester of time.
Talk to your high school counselor to see if these courses are right for you. Your school official will register you through the South Dakota Center for Virtual Education (SDCVE).
In addition to the base requirements for the High School Diploma, students may earn advanced endorsements that are in alignment with the student’s personal learning plan.

By completing the Advanced Honors Endorsement, students also earn the designation of Regents’ Scholar.
