STUDENTS WHO HAD TO LEAVE HIGH SCHOOL EARLY
and
STUDENTS WHO ARE NOW ADULTS AND HAVE ENOUGH LIFE EXPERIENCE TO QUALIFY FOR A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA
Option One
REQUEST FOR A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA BASED ON LIFE EXPERIENCE
Option Two
COMPLETE AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY/RESUME as a Proficiency Test
(TWO - FOUR TYPE WRITTEN, DOUBLE SPACED PAGES, TIMES ROMAN 14 FONT)
IN ESSAY FORMAT
![]()
It is not strange to award a high school diploma based on life experience. Colleges and Universities award degrees based on life experience. Honorary Degrees are accepted as valid degrees and are awarded to individuals for their achievements. We think that it is about time that life experience be recognized as a valid way to earn a high school diploma.
Sequoia High School will consider each applicant for such a diploma on a case by case basis.
Many adults have the knowledge they would have gained if they had stayed in school. Some students who have left school early wish to get a high school diploma rather than a GED.
This program is for those individuals. Capable students who are doing well in high school should stay in their programs and finish unless circumstances force them to choose a faster path to graduation.
Colleges are more likely to accept your diploma when it is supported with four years of transcripts rather than a diploma that is based on life experience or a proficiency test.
Adults do not need a high school diploma to go to college in most States. Adults may attend a community college for two years and then transfer to a four year college.
We encourage all individuals to consider attending the International Theological University.
The Western Federation Church and Tribe's Board of Education may, on a case by case basis, award a High School Diploma from Sequoia High School, based on life experience, to worthy individuals without prior testing or GED.
Tuition for The Life Experience Program: Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00)

Check only one | |
| I wish to qualify for my High School Diploma by Proficiency Test | Check only one |
Dear Sirs:
I wish to obtain a High School Diploma from the Western Federation Church and Tribe's Sequoia High School.
I understand that Sequoia High School will grant a High School Diploma to me only if I qualify by passing a sufficient number of classes in the Sequoia High School Curriculum and/or by home schooling and/or by using my life experience or by passing a proficiency test.
I have read the information provided on this page and understand that my best possible course of action is to pursue a full high school diploma after completing the recommended College Preparation Course of Study.
I understand that it is possible to graduate with sufficient credits for a regular diploma but unless I take all of the College Prep Classes, I may not be able to get into the college of my choice or at all.
I understand that most Universities and Colleges, offering Bachelor Level and Higher Degrees, require:
SAT or ACT Examinations
Superior GPAs - Grade Point Averages - 3.5 or higher at better schools
Successful completion of a well rounded high school curriculum that includes
Four years of College Prep English - including Grammar, Speech, Composition and Literature
Three to four years of College Prep Math - including two years of Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry
Three to Four years of College Prep Lab Sciences - Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Botany, Geology, Astronomy
Two full years of two different foreign languages - Example
Two years of Spanish
Two years of German
One year of American History
Four Years of Physical Education
Most schools look for a well rounded student with superior grades and indications of many extra curricular activities which demonstrate desirable personality characteristics. - Annual Staff, Newspaper, Pep Squad, Sports, Debate Team, Academic Olympics, Chess Club, Rocket Club, 4H Club, Scouts, School Broadcasting Experience etc.
It has been made clear to me that colleges and universities determine their own entrance qualifications and that I may not be accepted to a college or university even if I am fully qualified to attend the School. Entrance Boards have the right to choose one candidate over another even if their candidate of choice is less qualified but meets some other criteria such as affirmative action or athletic ability.
I understand that while the diploma awarded for home schooling, life experience or for passing a proficiency test is a real diploma, it may not be accepted as readily, or at all, by any college as a diploma based on four years of college preparatory courses completed.
I agree to hold the Western Federation Church and Tribe harmless for any dishonest act committed by me in using my diploma, if such diploma was awarded under any false pretenses or fraud by me.
I understand that the $500.00 Tuition is for the home schooling, life experience or Proficiency Test Option.

Tip Of The Week - Thanks to Bill
Gates and to KOST 103.5 FM To anyone with kids, of any
age, here's some advice Bill Gates allegedly dished out at a high school speech regarding
11 things kids do not learn in school. He talked about how feel-good, politically correct
teaching has created a full generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this
concept set them up for failure in the real world. RULE 1 Life is not fair - get used to it. RULE 2 The world won't care about your
self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about
yourself. RULE 3 You will NOT make 40 thousand
dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone,
until you earn both. RULE 4 If you think your teacher is tough,
wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure. RULE 5 Flipping burgers is not beneath your
dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping, they called it
"opportunity." RULE 6 If you mess up, it's not your
parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. RULE 7 Before you were born, your parents
weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your
clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain
forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your
own room. RULE 8 Your school may have done away with
winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades
and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear
the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. RULE 9 Life is not divided into semesters.
You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find
yourself. Do that on your own time. RULE 10 Television is NOT real life. In real
life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. RULE 11 Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one. |
