Online high schools usually come in two versions. Expensive live ones that charge $15,000 to $60,000 a year. Or cheaper ones that are pre-recorded lessons with no live teacher at all.
Dual Academy Live is different. Live classes every day with college professors. By graduation, your student has earned 80 college credits from our partner, NewU University which is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), that transfer to other accredited universities across the nation.
Live classes every day with real college professors. The same classmates each week, so your student actually makes friends. Small teams working together on real-world projects. A one-on-one coach who checks in every month. A normal school year, September to June. No summer classes, no weekend catch-up.
80 college credits by graduation. That’s nearly three years of college, done by age 18. After high school, your student can transfer those credits and finish their bachelor’s faster somewhere else, or stay one more year at NewU University and walk away with a full bachelor’s degree by age 19.
The shortest, most affordable path to a college degree. All of it in a live online high school, from home.
Entry-level jobs are changing fast. AI is taking over the routine work. Dual Academy teaches the things machines can’t do: how to work with AI instead of competing with it, how to think through a business problem, how to work with people. Graduates don’t just get hired. They grow into leaders.
$2,850 per semester or $5,700 per academic year, including tuition, fees, and books. $570 a month with our interest-free payment plan.
Need-based financial aid can cover up to half your tuition.
Will the college credits transfer to other universities?
Yes. The credits come from NewU University, accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), the same accreditation as Columbia, Georgetown, NYU, Rutgers, and UPenn, and most universities in the eastern U.S. Almost all U.S. colleges should accept these credits.
What diploma does my student graduate with?
A Washington, DC private high school diploma, issued by Dual Academy. A live online high school gives you the same legal diploma as a brick-and-mortar school. Plus a college transcript from NewU University showing the 80 college credits earned.
What does a typical day look like?
A normal school day but in a live online high school. Classes run during regular school hours on Eastern time, Monday through Friday. We follow a typical September-to-June school year. No summer classes, no weekend add-ons.
Is Dual Academy accredited?
Dual Academy is accredited by Cognia. Our partner NewU University is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
What if my student isn’t sure about finishing at NewU?
No problem. The 80 college credits belong to your student and can be used anywhere. They can transfer to another university, or skip college and start working with both a high school diploma and a serious head start. The shorter bachelor’s at NewU University is an option, not a requirement.
