A plain-language guide to earning real Arizona State University college credit during high school — on a real ASU transcript that transfers wherever they go next.
Choose as much or as little as fits your family. Free for any family to use.
You can stop at any step. Each one stands on its own.
Every plan mixes two kinds of classes. Every ASU course counts as high school credit and college credit at the same time.
Standard high school subjects from a fully accredited partner curriculum. Counts toward the high school diploma.
Real online courses from Arizona State University. Your student sees their grade first, then chooses whether to add it to their ASU transcript (we recommend a C or better). Skip = no record. No transcript risk.
Four options, each 4 years, each ends with a full high school diploma and real ASU credit. Click any pathway to open its year-by-year plan.
Great for families who want strong college prep without a heavy course load. Every ASU competency exceeded. Ends with 27 real ASU college credits — enough to skip most of freshman year at any major.
Best for students headed into business, finance, or entrepreneurship. Adds finance, leadership, project management, and both halves of intro economics. Excellent head-start for a Global Leadership BA at ASU.
Best for students headed into engineering, computer science, or the physical sciences. Adds calculus, engineering chemistry, and the AWS cloud-computing certification track.
Best for strong readers and writers who want the widest general-education coverage — history, science, math, government, health, and environment. Great head-start for a Liberal Studies BA.
For students ready to push hard, any of the four pathways can be stretched with summer terms and heavier senior years to finish high school with 60+ real ASU credits — the equivalent of finishing freshman and sophomore year of college before they even graduate.
Full Business & Leadership pathway plus finance, project management, and communication summer courses.
Full STEM pathway plus the complete AWS cloud track and advanced calculus — finishes with a professional cloud certificate on top.
Widest general-education plan — completes the full 5-course history sequence and adds environmental science, psychology, and health.
Families sometimes ask if their student should convert 60 credits into a full Associate degree. Usually the answer is no — taking an Associate can disqualify students from freshman-year benefits at four-year universities (freshman scholarships, honors college admissions, freshman housing perks, pathway programs). For most students, we recommend applying those 60 credits toward a bachelor’s degree instead. Same head start, no lost benefits. If an Associate genuinely fits your student’s plan (e.g., entering the workforce directly), it’s possible — ask us and we’ll walk through it.
Yes. Landmark Academy is a fully WASC-accredited private K-12 microschool. WASC is the same accrediting body used by many top independent and international schools. Every credit Landmark issues goes on a transcript colleges recognize.
The dual-credit college courses in our pathway are taught by Arizona State University — one of the largest research universities in the country. Your student registers with ASU, does ASU coursework, and (if they choose to transcript) earns real ASU credit on a real ASU transcript. Landmark handles the dual-credit connection so the same course counts on their high school transcript too.
Yes — Arizona State University credit transfers to nearly every US college. For Landmark students, we walk you through transfer equivalency or course-by-course matches for your target school before you commit.
That's why the plan opens with easy-to-love college courses like history or personal finance in Grade 9. Students build confidence before tackling harder college classes. And because they see their grade first and choose whether to transcript, there's no permanent record if they decide to walk away.
No. Choose as much or as little as fits your family. Mix and match across the school, the digital courses, the community, and the planning tools. That's the whole point of "one family, three ways in."
