An Extension of Blueprint Independent Study
Earn Your High School Diploma Online with Blueprint Academy.
While our independent study courses help you catch up or get ahead, we built Blueprint Academy as a private, fully accredited online high school where you can complete your education and earn your diploma, entirely online.
Open enrollment, just like Blueprint Independent Study courses: start any day of the year. No pressure, just a conversation to see if it's the right fit.
No age limit: we're open to students of any age, nationwide.
Have ESA or microgrant funds (including ClassWallet)? We accept them. See our FAQ below.

Backed by Blueprint Education's 57-year legacy and over 50,000 course enrollments, we hold the same Cognia accreditation as Blueprint Independent Study, including a wide selection of NCAA-approved courses.

How It Works
From first conversation to enrolled student.
We start with a conversation, not a checkout button.
Contact Us
Reach out using one of the buttons on this page. It's a free, no-obligation conversation, and we're here to help you find the right fit, even if that ends up being somewhere else. This first conversation is where everything below starts.
Meet Your Onboarding Specialist
After the initial conversation, you'll schedule a session with an onboarding specialist to map out your personalized graduation plan. This tailored plan starts with a $300 transcript evaluation.
Pay Your Annual Registration Fee
Once your graduation plan is mapped out and it makes sense to move forward, you'll pay a $1,500 annual registration fee to enroll in the Blueprint Academy track.
Buy Your First Course
With your registration fee paid, you can browse our main course catalog, choose your first course from your graduation plan, and begin right away. We're with you every step of the way, helping you reach your goal of earning your high school diploma.
Tuition & Fees
Transparent pricing, so there are no surprises.
Course pricing is per 0.5 credit and varies by course type (Standard, Credit Recovery, Honors, AP, and Foreign Language), on top of the $300 transcript evaluation and $1,500 annual registration fee covered in "How It Works" above.
Because course pricing can change, your onboarding specialist will confirm exact, current pricing for your personalized graduation plan as part of your conversation. You're also welcome to browse live course pricing any time in our course catalog.
Not sure it's the right fit? Purchases are refundable within 7 days as long as less than 5% of the course is complete. See our FAQ below for more.

What is the Blueprint Academy Handbook?
You can view it any time using the link above. We keep it up to date as things change.
How is Blueprint Academy different from Blueprint Independent Study courses?
Independent Study courses are à la carte, for catching up or getting ahead on individual credits. Blueprint Academy is our full diploma track: a complete online high school program.
Is Blueprint Academy accredited?
Yes, we're Cognia accredited, the same accreditation used across Blueprint Independent Study.
How much does Blueprint Academy cost?
Getting started includes a $300 transcript evaluation and a $1,500 annual registration fee, plus the cost of your individual courses (see the Tuition & Fees section above). Reach out and an onboarding specialist will walk you through exact, current pricing as part of your conversation.
When can I start Blueprint Academy?
Anytime. We use the same open enrollment as Blueprint Independent Study courses, so there's no need to wait for a semester or school year to begin.
Is Blueprint Academy NCAA approved?
Many of our courses are NCAA-approved. Your onboarding specialist will make sure your graduation plan lines up with NCAA requirements if that's a priority for you.
Can I use ESA or microgrant funds (like ClassWallet) to pay for Blueprint Academy?
In many cases, yes, including paying directly with a program debit card. Reach out and we'll help you confirm what's available for your state and situation.
How are final exams proctored?
Every course ends with a proctored final exam. If you're near our Phoenix office, you can take it there in person (Monday & Wednesday, 9am–3pm). Otherwise, one of our staff members proctors virtually, with flexible scheduling to fit busy calendars.
What if Blueprint Academy isn't the right fit?
Course purchases are refundable within 7 days of purchase, as long as less than 5% of the course has been completed. Reach out any time. We're happy to talk through whether it's the right fit before you enroll.
Is there an age limit to enroll in Blueprint Academy?
No, we're open to students of any age, whether you're working through high school for the first time or coming back to it later. All you need is the drive to earn your diploma.
Is Blueprint Academy the same as a GED?
No, you'll earn an actual high school diploma, not a GED. If you're not sure which is the better fit for your situation, reach out and we can talk it through with you.
