Core offering

Diploma Dual is an online dual diploma convalidation program that enables secondary school students to obtain both their national high school diploma and the American High School Diploma simultaneously. Students complete 6 subjects (4 mandatory plus 2 electives) through 100% English-language online instruction, with 75% of the 24 US credits being convalidated from the student's existing national curriculum. The program is delivered through Academica Corporation's virtual learning platform with live sessions and is accessed via a network of authorized partner schools in Latin America.

Product overview

Diploma Dual is a single unified educational program — the Dual Diploma Program — that offers international students the opportunity to earn both their national high school diploma and the American High School Diploma simultaneously. The program is built on three core pillars: Language Immersion (Inmersión Lingüística) for English language development, Technology Immersion (Inmersión Tecnológica) for digital learning mastery, and Personal Development (Inmersión Personal) for autonomy and adaptability. Students complete 6 subjects online (4 mandatory including English, U.S. History, and U.S. Government/Economics, plus 2 electives) over 3 or 4 years, with 75% of required US credits convalidated from local academic performance. An optional College Preparation (SAT-ACT) module is available as an elective. The program operates through authorized partner schools across Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, with academic services provided by Academica Corporation (US).
