High School Diploma Program

Since 1991, Colorado Heritage has been helping students succeed in their high school years and has graduated over 500 students. Seventy-five percent of our graduates have continued their education at a college or university, or academy. Colorado Heritage has earned a solid reputation among the academic community.

We are thankful to be a part of our students’ academic success, but our greatest joy is seeing our students grow in godly character and in their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. 

How We Can Help
The high school years play an important role in a student's future. Homeschooling in these years can become a substantial challenge. Our Diploma Program gives parents confidence to continue educating their children through the high school years.

For parents who are seeking to optimize their high school student's academic success while continuing to build upon a spiritual foundation, the Colorado Heritage Diploma Program may be a good fit.

Private High School Transcript & Graduation Ceremony
Our Diploma Program provides home-educated high school students with a 4-year high school plan that challenges and encourages both academically and spiritually. Many of our Diploma Program students pursue much of their course work through our Academy along with classes taken at home.

Upon successfully completing our Diploma Program, students will receive a private Christian school transcript and have the option of participating in our graduation ceremony. Colleges and other institutions highly esteem our high school graduates.

Diploma Level Options

Our Diploma Program offers four diploma tracks: Diploma, Honors, High Honors, and Highest Honors. Each program provides a framework to assist students in successfully completing high school graduation requirements while considering their gifts, interests, and future goals. 

  • The General Diploma Option meets minimum admissions requirements for most post-secondary institutions and provides greater flexibility in elective coursework.

  • The Honors Diploma Options follow rigorous schedules of Colorado Heritage requirements in addition to our basic academic coursework.

Four-Year Plan: The Diploma Program offers a diverse and customizable four-year plan.

Transfer Students: Students who wish to transfer into our Diploma Program must provide us with a transcript from their previous high school year(s) and/or home records. We will evaluate the transcript to determine if our Diploma Program is a good fit. Please provide the transcript to us before you schedule a Diploma Program meeting with us.

Please note

Colorado Heritage Education School System will accept applicants to our Diploma Program from families and individuals who are conforming to and believe the biblical pattern for family as found in the Holy Scriptures -  the Bible -  and as specified in the various position statements of this organization - and who hold to the biblical teaching on gender, living out their birth gender based on the chromosomes the Lord God Sovereignly gave them before they were in their mother's womb. "Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them." Psalm 139:16

Testimonials

I recommend CHESS for several reasons. My children and I appreciate the relationships that they’ve made there. I have a daughter in nursing school, and she counts several of the friendships that she made at CHESS as best friends in adulthood. My sons, a senior and an 8th grader, also greatly value the friends that they’ve made there. As a parent, I love knowing the families of their friends, because you can walk through raising kids together, and the mom fellowship is awesome! CHESS has a great curriculum and Diploma Program. The staff is incredibly patient and gracious while they guide one through the processes required for the Independent School and Diploma Program. Having a diploma, from a school, made my daughter’s entrance into nursing school seamless. CHESS is very supportive of parents, and we can choose which classes to take with CHESS and which classes we would like to teach our kids at home. We especially love Mr. Ong’s Bible classes and Mrs. Smart’s writing classes. We live 45 minutes from CHESS and have been attending since 2018. We count the drive as an easy sacrifice for so many wonderful benefits!

CHESS is truly a blessing to our family. As a new family to homeschooling, we were helped by CHESS to navigate the process of what is required to help keep us on track for our high school student. We utilize the Independent School, High School Diploma Program, Academy, and Standardized Testing. The Christ-centered teaching and staff are such an encouragement for us. My daughter’s favorite thing besides the wonderful friends she has made, is that her English teacher prays every day before class. Switching to CHESS was the best decision we made for our high school student!
— Crystal, Johnstown CO
​​​​​​​I don’t know where to begin to thank you for all you’ve done. I am pretty sure we would not have been able to home school all the way through high school without CHESS’s diploma program. Your direction, encouragement, and influence on our son caused him to reach higher and accomplish more academically and spiritually than he would have ever been able to do without you.
— Michelle, Bailey CO
We are thankful for all you are doing to help us teach our kids in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. 
— David, Cheyenne WY
We are so thankful for the Christian emphasis at Colorado Heritage and for the caliber of the teachers. We graduated our four students from your Diploma Program, and we can truly say that the experience from start to finish was a blessing! I highly recommend this school to homeschooling parents or to those who are thinking about homeschooling and who want their high school student(s) to receive a quality education which is firmly housed in traditional Biblical values and beliefs.
