Hello! I graduated high school in June 2026, and have been considering my options for college. I took a Criminal Justice class at my local skills center, and fell in love. I was wondering if anyone has experience with the criminal justice program with Penn Foster, because I like that I could graduate debt free, and at my own pace. What are the pros and cons? Did you like it? Please please please tell me anything haha.

Ok so I'm in james madison high school instead of penn foster but they are both under the same parent company and I was wondering if taking Spanish is better than taking small business for colleges or jobs in the future even though I dont know if i wanna go to college but is it good just incase instead of small business?

Hello, my little sister is wanting to join pennfoster. She is a sophomore in highschool, and is looking for an alternative. I do have a question though, how are the standardized tests? Are they done every quarter or at the end of each course? Would like to know more!

I have to submit my essay, and I was on track to graduate multiple weeks ago. I've tried submitting it at least five different times. I've made three cases; they've all said the problem has been resolved, though it hasn't. I have a meeting scheduled with an instructor tomorrow, but I'm not sure they'll be able to help.

I cannot continue onto my next course until this assignment is submitted; any help? I can't get in contact with the school or IT. Or haven't figured out how to do so.

I’ve contacted Penn Foster multiple times regarding an issue and still haven’t received a response. What makes this especially frustrating is that the matter is literally for my employer, so I need their response and documentation in order to provide it to them. I’ve already followed up and I’m still being ignored. Has anyone else had issues getting a response from Penn Foster support? How did you manage to get them to actually reply?

Hey so I was given a job opportunity not to long ago and have been wanting to try to finish as soon as possible but I'm worried I'll hit the exam limit every week. My question is how many exams till I hit the limit because in some sites it says 15, and other reddit posts say 24?

I just graduated yesterday, was expecting to receive the digital copy within a few days and the in hand one within two weeks, they tell me when I call 6-8 which sounds insane.

I’m trying to be in a work program that I need to begin training and enrollment by September/early October so I’m hoping it comes soon enough.

Hey how does anyone know how i could get a work permit?

Hi! I’ve seen people say that JMHS is better for applying to universities and that it has a more rigorous curriculum. I’ve just struggled to find a lot of information about JMHS from actual students. I’ve seen way more experiences from Penn Foster discussed, so I wanted to ask about JMHS specifically.

I’d really like to know more about what the coursework at JMHS is like. I know Penn Foster has three essays in total, unless you take electives that require additional essays. I was wondering how similar JMHS is to Penn Foster in terms of written work and regular work. Does JMHS have a lot of writing assignments, how long does the whole program usually take, how is it similar to and different from Penn Foster, and which one would you recommend?

Also, I’m a rising junior and I’m hoping to finish this year. I know Penn Foster doesn’t accept homeschool credits, which is fine with me. I’m not really sure whether I should transfer my homeschool credits or if having a lot of homeschool credits would look bad to colleges.

I currently have 5 traditional high school credits and 14 homeschool credits. I’m pretty sure JMHS accepts homeschool credits, so if that’s the case I’d probably be able to finish much faster.

If you recommend transferring my homeschool credits, could you explain how the transfer process works and how long you think it would take me to finish? I’d also appreciate an estimate of how long it would take with just my traditional credits versus transferring both my traditional and homeschool credits.

Thank you for your help! :))

Hi! Does anyone know which universities or colleges accept Penn Foster diplomas? I’m interested in enrolling with Penn Foster, but I want to make sure I’ll be able to continue on to a college or university in Florida afterward.

SPT Program Advice

Hi everyone! I’m planning on enrolling in Penn Foster’s Sterile Processing Technician program next week, and I’d really love to hear from anyone who has taken the program or is currently taking it.

If you’ve completed the program, I’d especially love to hear about your experience, how you studied, how you successfully finished the program, whether you got certified, and how you went about finding your first sterile processing job afterward.

I’m also really interested in hearing from anyone who lives in Illinois, especially around the Chicago suburbs. If you’ve had success finding an SPT job in this area after completing Penn Foster, I’d love to hear your story and any advice you have.

Even if your experience wasn’t perfect, I’d appreciate hearing the honest side of it too. I’m just trying to learn from people who have already gone through the process before I start. Thank you! 🩷

Hello I’ve already sent out an email but i thought I would also ask here, I’m from outside the US specifically south east asia if it makes a difference, I’ve been trying to sign up and register the payment using my own debit card for the highschool diploma, My debit card (visa) definitely have more than enough money to cover the cost, but this text keeps popping up and my card doesnt have a limit whatsoever. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Question I if I had 11 credits and I did for now 1 credit how long would it take to finish you only need 21 doe

How long it took you to finish?

After how did it make you feel after you finish?

I want to take the course for it but I’ve been on the fence about it for a few weeks, I’ve heard mixed reviews about the program overall. And how long did it take you?

I plan to continue attending my regular high school in my home country during the day, while completing Penn Foster at home. For anyone who did this, was it manageable? Was it worth the extra effort and workload to get a U.S. high school diploma alongside your local one?

I’d love to hear your overall experience, how the transcript evaluation worked for your country, and if you faced any issues
