List of Fake Online High Schools and Fake Online GED Programs

Below is a list of the fake online high school scams as well as fake GED online programs. We deem any high school that does not hold State or US Department of Education Recognized Accreditation to be unaccredited.

NEWS: If you have a fake diploma from the following fake websites listed below in red, If so, please contact the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General of Arizona.  These fake schools do NOT meet State requirements for issuing a high school diploma, which violates State and Federal Laws.

The FTC is an independent agency of the United States Government created by statute. These fake diploma mills violate sections: 15 U.S.C. §§ 41-58 and Section 5(a) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45(a) which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce.

Gold Leaf Academy Review (goldleafacademy com) claims to be located in Texas but does not list a physical address. Gold Leaf Academy is not accredited by an agency recognized by the State of Texas TEPSAC/TEA, and as such, will likely not be accepted by colleges, employers, and the US Military. Schools like Gold Leaf Academy do not qualify for Title IV FAFSA (Federal Financial Aid) for US colleges and universities.

The schools listed in red are currently being sued by the Federal Trade Commission. You can read more about the lawsuit at:

Students seeking to earn an accredited high school diploma, must complete the credits required to meet State standards. A real, accredited high school diploma will take many months or years to complete.
