I graduated from Continental Academy in 2008 - Great program I got in to a college.
I earned my High School Diploma from Continental Academy in 2008.
In 2009 I applied and was accepted in to degree program at CIE.
Today I'm a CIE/WC graduate with Bachelor Degree in Electronics Engineering Technology.
At the time the 16 credit program was called EAGLE.
I recommend this program. Don't assume that all colleges reject it.
You have a good chance with most of for profit private colleges and Universities. Also Public colleges may accept. I seen people with public high school diplomas get rejected.

These people are not a scam , People are lazy and can't get your way you give up and stop looking
First off it is May 2012 and just because a couple of schools did not meet the requirement's of continental academy does not mean that all schools will , My sister and I went to the same school and are going to the same college with our diploma from continental academy so just because you people did not get into the schools of your choice does not mean that you can post lies about this schools when I 'm clearly about to graduate with a ba so stop being lazy and keep looking.

I enrolled in this school when they were Nationally Accredited and while I was in school they lost their accreditation in January of 2010. I emailed the school counselor January of 2011 and asked if this was true, so I would not waste my time finishing it if I could not enroll in college after completion. They informed me that they were still nationally accredited and never stopped being accredited. I graduated in March of 2011, and just tried to enroll in college. All 4 colleges I have spoke to told me the same thing... Continental Academy lost their accreditation in January of 2010! This basically means I wasted a lot of money and time on getting my high school diploma, that I can not use. I now have to spend more money and time getting my GED so I can go to college. Anyone who was planning on going to Continental Academy my best advice is.... DO NOT DO IT! It's not worth it.

This place is an absolute SCAM. I attended this "school" after completing high school up until the 11th grade. I moved to an area where I didn't feel comfortable attending public school and couldn't afford private school. I thought this would be a great way to finish high school and get my high school diploma without settling for a GED. I finished Continental Academy in May 2006. I live in New Jersey and every school I go to in New Jersey and in New York tell me that they see alot of students coming in with diplomas from here but unfortunately, the school is NOT LICENSED by any DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION so I basically spent around $600 for a worthless piece of paper. Now to continue my education, I must apply for a GED. I was apply to attend one school with this diploma but I do believe it was because it was a large state university and they didn't pay attention to who it came from when it was mailed. I left that school because I didn't like the education so I looked to attend other schools. Every other school I tried to attend had a one on one meeting with me and that's where they told me this school is a joke. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

I am not advocating for this company. I understand that there are a lot of problems with diploma mills. I do not know if this company is or is not on the list that the DOE maintains.
I do wish to clarify one thing. Homeschooled students are able to receive federal aid. You do not have to have a public school diploma or a GED. Every state allows for home schools to receive a home school diploma. That diploma is federal aid eligible.
Here is a link to the DOE's website.
http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oig/alternativeproducts/x11k0001.pdf
It is a statement that clarifies this subject. Question #26 on the FASFA application asks if you have a high school diploma, GED, home school diploma, or none of the above. This document states that a home school diploma is eligible!

Sorry "ChauT", I have to call you out on your blatant disregard for the truth, and the facts of Continental Academy. What makes a high school diploma, or a college degree, valuable is whether the institution it came from carries an accreditation that is recognized by the US Department of Education. If it is not, then the institution cannot provide federal aid to it's students, and anyone who graduates from an unrecognized high school is unable to secure federal aid for college. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REGIONAL ACCREDITATION!! I am all too aware of what diploma mills like Continental Academy can do to unsuspecting people who thought they were helping themselves to improve their lives. I am an Admissions Director for a well established college and I see the frustrations of people who paid hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars to online high schools who proudly say they are "fully accredited" (which, by the way, there is no such thing as being fully accredited, you are either accredited or not!) but what they don't say is that they are not recognized by the US Department of Education, which means that their diploma isn't worth the paper it was printed on. Make no mistake, Continental Academy is a scam and anyone praising them is on their payroll. DO NOT BE FOOLED!!

Company is very misleading, I went all the way through program, later to find out company is not accredited with the US Department of Education. Please beware! So once again No High School Diploma! Already enrolled in a program that requires a high school diploma. What a waste of my time and my money.

I graduated in May 2010 and I highly recommend this school. With Continental Academy, I was able to continue my education and get a better job. Please be aware that a high school diploma is not enough to be accepted into college. The applicant must meet the additional entrance requirements such as having a sufficient score on the SAT or ACT exam. Every year, our public high schools in Texas award high school diplomas to hundreds of students who are not accepted into college because they cannot meet the additional entrance requirements of the college. Being accepted by a college is a privilege, not a right.
Yes, the majority of colleges are regionally accredited however, NOT every student attending college graduated from a regionally accredited high school. The majority of private high schools in the United States are NOT regionally accredited by choice. Regional accreditation agencies are private companies (not government agencies) and they are ONLY recognized for the accreditation of colleges and universities – NOT high schools. Proof of this fact can be seen below from the web site of the U.S. Department of Education:
http://www2.ed.gov/admins/finaid/accred/accreditation_pg2.html#U.S.
Note: The U.S. Department of Education does not have the authority to accredit private or public elementary or secondary schools, and the Department does not recognize accrediting bodies for the accreditation of private or public elementary and secondary schools. However, the U.S. Department of Education does recognize accrediting bodies for the accreditation of institutions of higher (postsecondary) education. If an accrediting body which is recognized by the Department for higher education also accredits elementary and secondary schools, the Department's recognition applies ONLY to the agency's accreditation of postsecondary institutions.
Accreditation does not provide automatic acceptance by an institution of credit earned at another institution, nor does it
