Accredited High School Diploma and English Language Training

At Penn Foster, we strive to help employers, educators, and human services organizations provide career and life advancement opportunities to employees, students, and jobseekers. In support of our mission, we’ve partnered with EnGen, a language upskilling platform, to offer a high school diploma program that includes immersive English language training.

The High School Diploma + English Language Training Program combines Penn Foster’s regionally and nationally accredited core high school curriculum with EnGen’s adaptive language learning training application to give English learners the ability to earn their diploma and simultaneously improve their English-language skills. Designed to meet learners where they are based on their English-language proficiency, this integration provides learners with personalized language lessons relevant to their academic and career goals.
