I give this school no stars! When you pay their tuition in full, your given a diploma, that you can't use! I received my diploma, with high honors in May of 16'. Took me till last week in October of 23' to discover that this school isn't accredited! I attempted to enroll in my community college MATC for LPN. I was told they wouldn't accept this diploma. I even reached out to other schools and the same thing. When you call Continental academy, you r being told by a rude receptionist that you have to talk to the principal whose never there! People please DNT spend your money on this punk fake a.. Diploma. You will be wasting your time! I'm highly disappointed! You will too!Review from Ben H

I leave 1 star I wish I could leave a thumbs down or no star because they don't even deserve that. Someone needs to put a stop to this school. Stealing hard working money from families and kids . Lying that this school is accredited when it isn't. You cant use this dang diploma anywhere! just to say you have it . This is ridiculous save your money and get your GED. They also have a great speech for you when you call to complain about this. This school should be closed it means nothing just to say you passed this school is a joke. Waste of money we should all get our money back. THIEVES!Review from Janet H

I too was one of the victims of this so called high school diploma scam. Because its a scam you cant use this high school diploma anywhere . I will continue to call your office everyday until you refund my hard working money $350 I spent and more on fees for you to mail me a high school diploma that I cant use to any school or work. You have completely lied to a lot of people , you lie and make up stories that youre accredited when youre not . I have my diploma , I have your fake certifications that you all provide I will contact an attorney about this. We should all receive a refund !Review from Christie Q.

I have recently found out that this school is not accredited. I am sad, depressed and beyond upset. I was a single mom back in **** when I received my Continental Academy High School diploma. All the while I studied I was in between work and taking care of my two young children at the time. I sacrificed that $350 tuition cost (God only knows) convinced that this was the best choice for me. Sadly, I was so proud of myself only to be let down like this. Now that I am ************************************************************** ************ Services with hopes to help our people, especially our senior citizens. I have been turned down by so many colleges and universities. It is devastating to me. I wouldn't be so upset if Continental Academy would offer their list of schools and universities that accept and share with all of the graduating/ed students. But apparently, there is no list. Because no one accepts this fake diploma. This is heartbreaking! I'd like to know how I can go about sueing Continental Academy for the $350 I paid. Myself, as well as anyone, should definitely be refunded. No matter how long it's been. I will pursue this and hopefully when I'm refunded I can use it towards educational supplies to a legit and accredited school. Please help or guide me. If this was nothing more than a scam to get money from people like us, God forgive everyone who took part in it. Again, someone please answer. I'd really like to get that refund back to get started on my journey to a better education and career. Thank you for reading. Amen.Review from Jeneffer W

Just like many others before my complaint, I graduated January 2009 from Continental Academy I recently received an offer at a hospital and was suppose to start next week. The hospital rescinded offer due to back ground check on school NOT BEING ACCREDITED!! This school needs to be investigated and shut down immediately! Owner needs to go to federal prison!Review from Jessica R

I was offered a position in the hospital. They had to do a background check. Today I received a call from the hospital stating they cannot accept me because my diploma is no accredited. Seriously.. I’m highly upset because I was looking forward to my new opportunity.Review from Christopher C

A friend told me about this School and it got him a good paying job! I was worried about paying a lot of money for a Diploma but it was worth every penny! After I have received the Diploma I went to college and gave them my Diploma. The college had to check it out to see if it was real and it was! So I have a Diploma from another High School which it doesn't bother me! I am very happy that I have this! :)Review from Sherry E

Worthless Diploma!!!! I PAID $400 Back in 2005 for what I was made to believe was a legitimate high school diploma. I got pregnant so I decided to raise my family. I finally decided to go to college in 2021 after having 4 children and find out that my high school diploma from continental academy is not acceptable at any college I've applied to.... Now I have to pay to go get my GED or High School Diploma AGAIN... Continental Academy is just a **** to ***** your money and they are very rude when you call about transcripts. They should be Shut Down and everyone should get a refund!!!!! This place disgusts me...Continental Academy Response

This response is to comply with the BBB with complaint reference #260108 (Ms. ****** *******, graduated 8/9/2005). Since graduation in 8/9/2005, Ms. ****** has only communicated once to the school on 6/1/2010 about college admissions and had been advised of obtaining additional admissions requirements to her college/institution of choice and provide official sealed transcript from Continental Academy DIRECTLY to her institution of choice as student graduate's "official proof of graduation" for admissions consideration; however, that did not occur. The school has not received ANY requests for student's official transcript to be sent to ANY institution(s) as student claimed to have applied to as her official proof of graduation for admission consideration. The school will gladly assist Ms. ******* with her educational endeavors; however, acceptance of credit or graduates is always the prerogative of the receiving institution or employer according to the U. S. Department of Education's function of accreditation.
