H-FARM International School launches the American High School Diploma: a new international pathway, flexible and future-oriented

Starting in September 2026, H-FARM International School expands its academic offering with the introduction of the American High School Diploma, an international pathway designed to meet the needs of an increasingly global, dynamic, and future-oriented generation.

Alongside the IB Diploma Programme, this creates a complementary option that combines flexibility and personalization, offering students the opportunity to shape their pathway in line with the direction they may wish to pursue in the future.

As part of this system, Cognia brings together three historic U.S. accrediting bodies (NCA CASI, NWAC and SACS CASI) ensuring alignment with long-established American educational standards and recognition across a global network of over 25,000 institutions in more than 100 countries.

Within this framework, the American High School Diploma introduces an educational approach that reflects international best practices, combining academic strength with flexibility in shaping the learning journey. 

An international perspective on higher education

Thanks to Cognia accreditation, the American High School Diploma is recognized as equivalent to a U.S. high school diploma, allowing students to apply directly to American universities without additional equivalency requirements, while remaining valid in international contexts.

Students are supported throughout this process by a structured University & Career Guidance programme, which helps them define a clear strategy and build a strong academic profile. This can be further enhanced through Advanced Placement (AP) courses, which offer additional academic depth and are widely recognized in university admissions.

This new accreditation represents a natural step in the development of H-FARM International School, which continues to expand its offering to respond ever more effectively to the needs of students and families.An evolution that broadens opportunities for students while remaining grounded in a consistent commitment to quality, flexibility, and a forward-looking educational vision, offering each student the possibility to shape their own path toward the future.
