Monarch is a parent-managed homeschool platform and curriculum, not an accredited school. Accreditation applies to institutions, not curricula, since the accrediting body evaluates not only the curricula but also the teaching and organizational practices. However, Monarch’s comprehensive, high-quality courses help parents meet academic standards while customizing education to their child’s needs. 

Because Monarch is a parent-managed homeschool platform and curriculum, not a school, parents of graduating students must provide any high school diplomas, which may be purchased on the AOP website here. 

Some colleges and universities require high school transcripts to be accredited, but many now also accept homeschool transcripts. If you’re looking for an accredited program that can be completed from home, explore Ignite Christian Academy by AOP.

Monarch is a parent-managed online learning platform and comprehensive homeschool curriculum for Christian homeschooling. It’s student-led and self-paced. Whereas, Ignite Christian Academy is a fully accredited online Christian school with certified teachers who manage instruction, grading, and support.
