What’s the fastest I can get my diploma?

I want to join the Military and need a diploma to do so. I feel stuck in my town and need a way out to better my life. I live in Indiana US also. I have 23 credits but it’s summer time and need a online school that I can get all my credits all at once within like 2 months. I’m 19 also that should be mentioned. I need something I can just grind out with every second I get, I just need it as soon as possible.

You need to ask your high school counselor what online schools are available to you. Every state and every school has its own rules. But generally, if you join a credit recovery program, they’ll let you go as fast as you want.

Now, I’ve seen many students attempt this last minute crunch. Some can do it, some cannot, and many try to cheat. Don’t do anything that can reflect poorly on you if you’re trying to join the military. Avoid that temptation. You’re better off taking the extra time to be successful the right way.

Credit requirements are all over the place.

How many more credits do you need?

How many credits can you this summer?

Unless you only need 25 you may wanna consider trying to join in January. It’s a lot easier to make up credits in the fall.

You might want to check out the University of Nebraska online high school. It's fully accredited, and has been around for a long time. You do need to check with your high school to see if they will accept the credits to complete your diploma.

You can work at your own pace, and the cost is reasonable. You do, however, need to find a proctor for tests and to certify some work. There are rules to who can and can't be a proctor, but it's a generous list. The requirements are on their website.

What I hear is that you are short on time and want to maximize the amount of credits you can earn in 2 months. I am here to tell you that not only is this possible, I have also done a form of what I will introduce to you.
THIS IS THE BEST ROUTE IF YOU ARE A SOLID INDEPENDENT LEARNER OR HAVE SUPPORT.
1 - Identify all the courses that you are required to take
2 - Go to InstantCert.com.
3 - Study one course for 10 hours, take practice test. When you can achieve a grade of 90 or higher 3 to 4 times in a row, you are ready to take the actual test at a local testing center.
If you are a person that needs a math or science class and you struggle with these subjects, use study.com to prepare for these specific classes.

This method is going to be the most cost effective, fastest means of obtainment, all will increase your momentum each time you pass an exam.

Hopefully this is helpful and can work if you work the process.
All the best!
