Penn Foster also accepts transfer credits from a GED. The maximum number of transfer credits allowed is 16. Upon our acceptance of your transfer credits, an adjustment to your financial obligation will be made.

Our History & Mission

A history of helping young people and adults earn their accredited high school diploma online

Penn Foster Anniversary Seal

How did Penn Foster begin?

In 1890, a newspaper editor named Thomas J. Foster founded the school to provide coal miners with the education they needed to advance in their careers and increase worker safety. At the turn of the century, the school was officially known as the International Correspondence Schools (ICS), and one out of every 27 adults in the US had taken an ICS course. Penn Foster has been around for over 125 years, and continues to evolve to meet the needs of learners today and tomorrow.

In 1956, Penn Foster High School was founded to provide young people and adults an affordable alternative to traditional high school and equivalency exams. SInce then, Penn Foster has transformed into one of America’s largest privately licensed high schools, with over 60,000 students, and over 25,000 graduates each year.

What is different about Penn Foster High School?

Penn Foster High School is proven, respected, and we graduate more high school students each year than any other school. At Penn Foster High School, you’ll benefit from our success coaching model, custom-designed, mobile learning platform developed with the online learner in mind, affordable tuition, and 0% interest on payment plans.

This is Who We Are

We believe education is for everyone. At Penn Foster, we are dedicated to helping our students achieve their goals through affordable, accessible, career-focused learning. Our mission has remained the same for over 125 years: to provide knowledge that builds career growth and confidence on any budget, around any schedule.

Penn Foster is an innovator with a heart: As the pioneer of distance learning, legendary greats like Thomas Edison and Mary Brooks Picken have joined us on our journey to help people overcome obstacles and lift themselves up. Penn Foster’s online and blended learning programs are self-paced and personalized, flexible and affordable, and easily accessible.

Together with our extensive partner network of leading employers, community-based organizations, and academic institutions, we close skills gaps and are building a stronger workforce through education and skills training. We aim to help businesses thrive by mobilizing their individual workers and energizing communities with opportunities for growth and progress. We are proud to play a role in the success of over 80% percent of our graduates that see improvement within their careers, as they inspire us to keep finding new ways to further our reach and broaden horizons.*

This is How We Started

At the turn of the century, the school was officially known as the International Correspondence Schools (ICS), and one out of every 27 adults had taken an ICS course across the nation.

By 2006, ICS transitioned from correspondence by mail to online education and marked this milestone with a new name, Penn Foster. Enrolling over 13 million students since our establishment, we are proven, respected, and reputable. Today, we offer over 100 accredited degree, diploma, and certificate programs, representing a family of brands across three schools. Our independent learners and employer relations receive customizable programs that directly meet the growing needs of today's career-focused learner.

This is How We Stand Out

As Penn Foster keeps going, we keep growing. Our dynamic community of faculty, advisors, students, and graduates is a force that gains size and strength with every year. With surround-sound support, career coaching, mentoring programs, affordable and flexible payment options, and a state-of-the-art learning platform, we continue to empower youth and adult learners to achieve their academic goals so they may unlock their career potential to ultimately better position themselves for success. We celebrate our past, embrace our present, and look forward to what’s next. Join the Penn Foster movement and start building toward a better future today.

Joey - March 15, 2021

I graduated from Penn Foster High School in 2000. Then it was called ICU High School. I still have the school ID with ICU on it! With that being said I decided to enroll in PF College to earn my Associate degree in Business Management in 2020. Let me tell you it was 20 years too late! But I guess it's never too late. Life happened in those 20 years and I enjoyed a great career in HR and store managemen...
