South Dakota Online High School for Teens
9+ Months • $49/month
Traditional high schools can’t meet the educational needs of every student. If a tailored, focused, and self-paced approach to high school works better for you, USCI’s Online High School could be the perfect alternative. We designed our curriculum to be flexible enough to meet the needs of students who work best when they focus on one challenge at a time, while delivering a rigorous education and a fully accredited diploma that will serve you well wherever you go.
South Dakota Online High School for Adults
9+ Months • $49/month
Since a high school degree in South Dakota is important, many returning students are tempted to take the GED test and move on. But a GED means a bit less to employers than a full high school diploma like the one you’ll earn at USCI. The numbers don’t lie: adults in South Dakota who have earned accredited high school diplomas earn *$5,885 more per year than those who do not. That’s why we offer a middle path: the convenience of studying at your own pace with the prestige and economic value of a true high school diploma.
South Dakota Online Homeschool
9+ Months • $49/month
Homeschooling can become more difficult as students rise through the educational ranks. Families looking for a flexible at-home education for their students while still meeting contemporary standards finally have an answer in USCI’s Online High School. Your student will enjoy all the benefits of the homeschool experience while earning a fully accredited, nationally recognized diploma that serves as their ticket to bigger and better things.
South Dakota believes in education. More than *93% of all South Dakota residents aged 18 and over have earned their high school diplomas, one of the highest graduation rates in the US. A high school diploma isn’t just a mark of achievement here: it’s an important step toward competing for good jobs today and in the years to come.
Traditional high schools offer one-size-fits-all education—and while that works for many students, too many find the old model of education to be limiting. Others can find themselves commuting an hour or more to schools that do their very best with shrinking budgets. That’s why USCI is so proud to offer an alternative. If your student needs a self-paced education from the convenience of home, or if you’re looking to get back to high school after things didn’t go as planned, we’re ready to get you back on the path to success. By delivering all instruction online, we are able to offer customized instruction that gives each student extra support where they need it. USCI students typically take one or two courses at a time, letting them focus on mastering important concepts and building confidence as they build knowledge. We believe in delivering your education on your terms.
USCI got its start in Colorado, and our curriculum still follows the Colorado state education standards. That puts you in great company: like South Dakota, Colorado follows the Common Core, meaning that USCI students get the same solid educational foundation at those in nearly every state in the US. Our students master the fundamental concepts of math, English, and the sciences while choosing from a wide range of electives and career-path programs that make each USCI education truly unique.
Students who want to get a head start on a rewarding career can choose one of USCI’s career pathways: selected bundles of courses that prepare high school students for the world of work. From business, healthcare, veterinary services, paralegal studies, and fitness, we offer a wide range of career-path options designed to show employers that you’re ready to make a valuable contribution as soon as you earn your diploma.

Program Reviews
The online high school program is great so far. It is less stressful on my mental health and more manageable for my day to day life. It only takes me less than a few hours total to finish lessons and the work I do online is kinda easy so far. I'm glad I've signed up for this program.
We've gotten fast responses to our questions and the instructors have been proactive in reaching out to us. This is our first semester with U.S. Career Institute and we're looking forward to the rest of Abby's learning experience here.
I have about a million questions before transitioning my teenager from public school to this program and they were AMAZING! The people I was working with were very responsive, answered everything and were so helpful. My daughter started today and I can't wait to see how it goes from here.
I decided to go back to high school after experiencing chronic health issues that prevented me from graduating. Now that I am graduated, I plan to go to my local college to study chemistry. U.S. Career Institute definitely prepared me for my college major with their amazing science classes. I originally enrolled in U.S. Career Institute after I saw an ad on YouTube, I decided it was time to move on to better things. My favorite part about U.S. Career Institute High School student was actually the staff. I had to have emailed them over 50 times and they always loved to help me. What sets U.S. Career Institute apart from other online schools is definitely how much they care about the quality of coursework and their students. I would recommend U.S. Career Institute High School to anyone looking to graduate because you could go at your own pace, while getting a great education. My advice to anyone still in high school or wanting to go back: absolutely go for it. I will be starting college this summer and I would have never done it without U.S. Career Institute!
My experience was great. I was able to get my son in school with no problem and now he is about to finish and become a high school graduate.
