About the author
Founded in 1897, American School of Correspondence is a private, not-for-profit distance education school based in Lansing, Illinois. Reliable sources describe it as one of the oldest and largest institutions of its kind, with programs in middle school, high school, and college preparatory study.
Its history stretches back to the early years of organized home study in the United States. The school says it has remained committed to affordable, flexible education for students who need an alternative to a traditional classroom, and it has served millions of learners over the course of its history.
American School is best known for its long role in correspondence education: lessons sent to students at a distance, later expanded into newer formats as education changed over time. That makes it an interesting example of how self-paced learning existed long before the internet made remote schooling feel ordinary.
