Transferring to an online high school is easier than you might think. Many students enrolling in a Whitmore School diploma program have already earned credits at another high school. Our registrar carefully evaluates previous coursework and awards online high school transfer credits according to our Transfer Credit Policy, helping students continue their education without repeating completed courses.
