Study Program

Independent Study Academy (ISA) is Fully Accredited under the Georgia Accrediting Commission (GAC) for Non-Traditional Educational Centers. Our Parent-Directed Study Program provides a GAC accredited high school transcript and diploma to students who do not attend classes on the Jasper Campus. The Parent-Directed Study Program provides yearly consulting designed to assist students as they plan their courses for graduation and beyond. ISA will ensure that all the necessary courses are completed for a Georgia High School Diploma and for College Admission. All ISA students are under direction of ISA making the HOPE and ZELL MILLER scholarships accessible.

Without an accredited transcript…

  • Homeschooled students who do not graduate with an accredited transcript must obtain a minimum SAT score of 1160 and a minimum ACT score of 24 to be ellijable for the HOPE scholarship.

  • Alternately, they can pay for the first 30 hours of college while maintining a 3.0 GPA before receiving HOPE funding. Dual Enrollment credits do not apply towards this goal.
