This is not a school it is a diploma mill. They only take student’s aged 17 and older because they can fit within the Home School law, which they are not a home school because they do not require any coursework. They do not provide transcripts for students at all. There is no contact information other than address on the certificate or letter that the student receives telling them they have graduated. The address on the letter is a retirement complex in Phoenix, AZ. The principle (Mary Jean Salmon Stennis) also has a gofund me page for a non-profit charity she set up under the same name, see here: *** They have not registered with the State of Arizona as a school or the US Department of Education, and they do NOT have any accrediting agency. Plus, look at this description they have used to draw people in: "DO YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU DON’T FIT IN A REGULAR HIGH SCHOOL SETTING? DO YOU FEEL OUT OF PLACE?
