Our Honors courses include optional AP® exam prep. Homeschool students can register for AP® exams as independent test-takers through a participating school; seats are set by each school, so we can't promise one.

Life Academy is online K–12 lessons that you run at home, plus optional live 1:1 tutoring. It is not accredited and it is not a school. You, the parent, issue the homeschool transcript and decide how to label and weight Honors courses. See our accreditation guide. Questions? Email hello@lifeacademyhomeschool.org.
