Diploma and Graduation FAQs

Students may transfer credits from any accredited institution. Students who want to transfer credits based on homeschool work or portfolios or coursework completed at a non-accredited institution may petition Insight School of Wisconsin (ISWI) to have the credits accepted. ISWI reserves the right to refuse transfer credits from non-accredited institutions or for homeschool experiences. A homeschool packet is required to transfer homeschool credits. All students must pass a civics exam and complete board required career-based work.

Colleges and universities have begun to appreciate that independent study programs such as ISWI often do a better job of preparing students for college because of the important time management and individual responsibility skills they impart. Students from programs such as ISWI often make the transition to college more readily than many of their counterparts.
