Keystone National High School is a private correspondence and online distance high school based in Pennsylvania. Students can earn their high school diploma at Keystone or take courses to supplement another high school or homeschool program. The school's first courses were introduced in 1974 as part of the Learning and Evaluation Center. Keystone took its current name and became a major part of the homeschool market in 1994. Over 200,000 have enrolled in Keystone's educational programs. The current enrollment is 5,678 students.
Keystone offers programs for college prep and career prep students who are pursuing a Keystone diploma. Students have a choice between correspondence (exams are sent into the school) and online courses (exams are submitted over the Internet). Honors and AP courses are available, and the course catalog ranges from Pre-Algebra and World Literature to Biology Lab and Game Design. Keystone graduates have been accepted at many major universities and colleges, including Harvard University, Calvin College, Dartmouth, New York University, Duke, Notre Dame, Rice, Stanford, Yale, and West Point Academy.
Many homeschoolers elect to enroll in Keystone after graduating from middle school programs such as the Calvert School Home Instruction Program.
