Question about Pennfoster High School vs. Public High School?

Hi, I've been home schooled basically all my life. I recently enrolled in Penn Foster high school with concentration in information technology, I was just wondering to someone who had attended a public high school; are the academic standards the same, harder, simpler? Thanks

    Penn Foster High School is accredited for grades 9 through adult by the Commission on Secondary Schools of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (link below) - the same accrediting agency that accredits public schools in that "region". The academic standards are the same as public school. However, the delivery of the education is much different and distance education is not for everyone - but can be beneficial to many. It is great that you are asking questions. Best wishes for you and your studies.
