The University of Texas at Austin Online High School

The University of Texas at Austin Online High School (UTHS) is a fully approved online high school offered through The University of Texas at Austin’s Continuing and Innovative Education Department (CIE) and is fully approved by the Texas Education Agency (TEA)* to award U.S. high school diplomas since 1998.

Since 1909, the Continuing and Innovative Education Department (CIE) has been in the forefront of educational and personal enrichment goals nationwide.

UTHS is available to schools that would like to offer a U.S. high school diploma track as part of their curriculum or academic offerings, giving the students the opportunity to graduate with a high school diploma from their home country and the U.S.

* TEA which is a branch of Texas state government, functioning like a Ministry or Council of Education, that oversees public education and is also responsible for education policy and setting academic standards for the state.

UTHS offers the following services to our partnership schools:
