History

University of Nebraska High School was established by the University of Nebraska in 1929. Initially courses were paper-based, correspondence study. With the arrival of the internet, the high school's curriculum evolved into an online learning environment. After several decades as the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Independent Study High School, UNHS was brought under the control of the University of Nebraska system as part of its online initiative in July 2013; the school's name was changed to University of Nebraska High School. [1]

University of Nebraska High School now offers more than 100 core, elective and Advanced Placement courses in eight subject areas. Courses are provided online and in print, designed to be flexible and self-paced. With students in all fifty U. S. states and more than 100 countries, the University of Nebraska High School has delivered hundreds of thousands of courses. [1]
