The success recipe of the American Online School

A school modeled after the successful Swiss Online School that has been educating children and adults for the past several years in Switzerland, Germany and Austria

The American Online School is a 100% digital school system for all grades from Kindergarten to High school, including college preparation courses.

Students log into their computer profiles and find subjects of their grade level on the digital learning management platform. Everyone goes at their own pace and decides freely in which order the courses will be completed. After selecting a course, different tasks become available which will have to be completed to advance within the course. A tutor will review the student’s work and give feedback asynchronously. In addition, remote tutors are available for questions or if problems arise. However, the goal is to foster independence, computer-literacy, and self-learning, which means the students are responsible for the quality of their learning experience and motivation.

Besides an innovative education system, the American Online school values equal access for all students and individually tailored learning.

Grades & Classes

Kindergarten through grade 9 are open for enrollment!

In planning: 10th to 12th grade. Courses are created daily!

The American Online School is an alternative to traditional homeschooling (and/or public and private schools) and was modeled after the successful Swiss Online School that has been educating children and adults for the past several years in Switzerland. New content is continuously created if a grade is not available yet. Enroll in the Newsletter to learn immediately when grades are ready for enrollment. 

Students learn at their own pace and at their selected time at home or on the-go (internet access is required to access course content). Such individualism and self-organization are core competencies of tomorrow.

The American Online School allows student of all states to participate as our curriculums and syllabi follow state policies and rules. Students have a high success rate at national standardized tests and at the end of their High School classes for the college admission test (e.g., SAT, ACT, etc.).

Prerequisites & Start

A start with us is possible at anytime throughout the year 

Wherever you go, your classroom is always at your fingertips. Independent from the student’s age or location, a student can fulfill their primary and secondary school requirements. There are no prerequisites to attend the American Online School, but the school will fulfill all state-mandated requirements of homeschooling.

Affordable, flexible, and self-paced. Knowledge-gaps are avoided as children will spend more time on topics that are more difficult for them but will be able to move along quicker in subjects that they find easier.

Tuition & Fees

Affordable education ala carte and on-demand

Whatever your needs, we have a solution. Whether a student needs to get extra credits for university admission, requires more time for elementary grades, or likes to advance quicker than possible at a public secondary school, the American Online school provides a high-quality and flexible education.

A grade* costs CHF 3600 (elementary school, grades K-6), CHF 4000 (middle school, grades 7&8) and CHF 4800 (high school, grades 9-12). Individual courses cost CHF 600. A one-time enrollment fee is CHF 200. While prices are listed in Swiss Francs (CHF), payments in USD are also accepted. Please note that payments made in USD are subject to currency exchange rates and may vary accordingly.

Please contact us for more information.

*With the American Online School, a single grade can start anytime and will require an equivalent of approximately 180 school days (or as mandated by the state of residence). However, as long as annual attendance records are fulfilled (according to state law), the school year can take as long as the students requires it.

Parents & students quotes (name/photo changed)

‘’We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your work and your excellent support!”

‘’Dear Swiss Online School Team, I would just like to let you know that my son is working on his maths homework in a very relaxed way and is singing Christmas carols (feliz navidad:-) very happily. (This email reached us in spring :-)) ‘’

Thank you very much for the certificate 🙂 We are so proud of Ben. We love the Swiss Online School, it was a wonderful experience for us and it is with a heavy heart that we leave you. The teachers are very friendly and encouraging and we have been able to rebuild Ben’s self-confidence with you. I will always be grateful for that.

‘’Lisa absolutely loved the trial lesson.‘’

‘’Thank you for the taster session, she enjoyed just the few lessons.”

‘’I don’t know my son anymore, he hardly stopped going to school yesterday.”

‘’My daughter, who almost got the dyscalculia stamp before, was able to catch up in maths and enjoy it thanks to her own pace (she slowed down a lot at the beginning because she never had time to consolidate the 1×1). She thought she was stupid the whole 4 years of primary school before.

Thanks to your efforts, a door has opened for us that gives our son more energy again and makes learning easier for him. Thank you very much for that! We are looking forward to the coming year and are excited to see where the Swiss Online School journey will take us.

‘We are back after our year abroad and our son is now very happy because he has achieved a very good school placement thanks to his year at the Swiss Online School.’

I got off to a great start at the Swissonlineschool. I’m having a lot of fun.
