I have heard many stories about Acellus, how good of a program it is. I would not be surprised if I finish the rest of my school years and graduate from Acellus. Truly is an interesting program!
I always struggled with school but when i started acellus i was able to strive more and actually learn the best way i knew without pressure
It’s true that the brightest minds are the ones who struggle the most. Struggles certainly teach us a lot.

I love to learn in Acellus Academy!
I Love learning from Acellus Academy. When I receive my diploma, I will be proud.

Really awesome science live, guys, thanks for all your hard work!
watching from Texas. I love SUMMER👡👙⚽🥅👗😄
The speech was very inspiring. I was very captivated
i loved this episode.
The hydrogel panels were by far my favorite part. I can’t help but wonder what effects building large groups of these panels would have on the surrounding environment. Since they draw moisture from the surrounding area, I feel it’s worth asking, could this negatively affect the environment or people nearby, or would it not make much difference?
Thanks for another great video!
I’m so glad I found Acellus💗
Really good
Wow! I did not know most insects cannot see the beautiful color red! At the age of thirteen I decided what my path in life would be, thanks to the investigating careers course Acellus offers.
Thank you,

When my family started homeschooling us was when covid 19 started. We were doing a program called Abeka and it made me hate homeschooling. I hated history the most and I had a hard time socializing with people. It took us about 8 hours to finish one days work with Adeka. I started to doubt myself, but once we started Acellus I started loving doing my school work. Dr. Todd Edmond and Lady Pajat have made it so my favorite course is history and now I can socialize with my friends and keep my emotions in check. Acellus has made it possible to do my schoolwork in less than 3 hours a day and now I can travel, do my schoolwork, and still enjoy my vacation.
I will be graduating in 3 years because of Acellus and their hard work to make it possible to do 2 years of schoolwork in 1 year. I will graduate with honors at 17 with Acellus. This summer I am doing Discover Spanish so I can do Spanish 1 and 2 with a score of 90% or more. I am really thankful for Acellus and all the hard work they put into their program to make it the best they can.
Thank you Acellus Team!!
MY FAM
watching from Arkansas
thank you
I love listening to science live, it teaches me things and helps me understand better. Love it
Getting my diploma is my step for success in college and my career.
love it!
I love this program!
Do you have any advice on how to succeed in doing a task that is extremely difficult?
I’m so excited to have my high school diploma, in about 2 years, because it symbolize this I’m ready for adulthood and experiences
I joined Acellus because I had been in the hospital and missed my whole freshman year. I was sad about not being able to attend in person, but Acellus has proved to be rather fun and rewarding, and I understand school more than ever. I think I’m going to stay on the homeschool path. I’m so excited to get my diploma, especially knowing it might be from Acellus!
Thanks for the wonderful opportunities that Acellus let us have thank you for all the hard work that all the teachers that helped record the videos had to go through to help students learn
Thank you for the motivation! I will work hard to be able to graduate next year!:)
It’s more then a diploma its becoming who we are and the future ahead of us.
I love science live!
Can’t wait till I get mine but I still have a ways to go.
I love Acellus it’s so fun I’ve done so many homeschooling programs Acellus is the first one i actually find fun
cool video! so excited to get my diploma
More than a diploma, it’s a symbol of becoming. Thank you for the reflection this podcast offered.
I’m proud to say, not to long now till I graduate. And it feels so weird. But I’m also so exited. Out of my siblings I had one who excelled and was amazing in school, and another who dropped out in high school. So it makes it even more bittersweet for me to be so close to achieving this milestone.
love it
Is there any bugs that can see yellow?
My daughter is doing so well in her classes. She’s only in kindergarten but she loves Acellus.
I’m very excited to receive mine soon, looking at it will give me the motivation I need in life excited to go to college too!!!
this was cool
Awesome
I’m so excited for graduation! Very enjoyable to listen to Dr. B

I AM SO GLAD I AM APART OF THIS PROGRAM!
im thankful to be enrolled in the acellus program, it gives me ways to take it at my own pace. I’m happy to work towards my diploma here.
Acellus is so helpful it will help me finish school much sooner
I’m trying to work harder on studying! Can’t wait
Very Blessed to have found Acellus!! Thank You Dr B
Interesting video now I know how important it will be to finish high school and get my diploma!

It will take me a while to obtain my diploma but I’m excited to be back in education again, being able to get a fresh viewpoint and really take the time to understand everything that I’m learning.

Listening to an actual Acellus graduate was interesting!
Tysm 4 the vid!
acellus is allowing me to graduate early! i just finished my last class today, i am beyond grateful
Does Acellus go through high school or college?
I’m working so hard in all my classes. When I was in public school I was depressed all the time ,but now I’m so happy to be in ACELLUS. I can’t wait to have my diploma because I want to be proud of myself and I WANT ALL MY FAMILY feel very happy and proud of me too.
It is very enlightening to see and hear how High School diplomas make an impact. Also to be reminded that they are not just for looks.
Thank you so much for a wonderful video. Just like the rest of the students I also didn’t like school until I started Acellus. I’m currently grade 6 in Acellus. The gorilla and lion is hilarious but on the flipped side Dr. B’s student insight is phenomenal. Thank you!
I plan on graduating this year.
I am very thankful that I was placed in circumstances where I had to enroll in Acellus.
This makes me even more excited for my diploma!
Loved the video. It helps motivate me to keep pushing to my goals.
Very nice! Thank you for creating such program and options for homeschoolers 🙂
I am working hard on getting my diploma. It is nice to hear Acellus student success stories.
I’ve been home schooled my whole life and Acellus is the first online program I’ve genuinely liked
I really enjoyed Tobias’s presentation today!
Thank you guys!
Congratulations to this years acellus graduates.
I can’t wait until I get my diploma! I never got excited about it before but after this video now I’m excited to get my diploma
I want to get my diploma from acellus
Your diploma is important when you graduate. It shows that you put in the effort to learn and improve as you go on, and if you keep putting in the grind, you can always walk away feeling accomplished. Hard work will always pay off in the end. I am glad I transferred to Acellus back in 2024! Unlike most schools, Acellus itself helps students along the way with vectored instruction and makers students want to engage more than regular school. And if you are having fun, it’s like you never work a day in your life. That’s how Acellus is.
Wow!
R51 is so silly
It’s great to hear that so many different colleges are accepting Acellus students.
Also inspired thanks
Acellus has also allowed me to follow my dream of becoming a pro motocross rider. This sport is one that requires training several days out of the week. My family lives in the North East which means several months of the year that are very cold and snowy. Acellus allows us to travel to the south during those months to train. If I wasn’t able to do my studies online then I would not be able to go train and then I would never be able to keep up with those that are able to train all year long.
Thank you for being so passionate about education.
I really want to graduate to continue studying, even just the diploma is a great value.
I liked the chicken.
It was interesting to hear an actual student tell me about his experiences with acellus and his future plans.
Thank a lot I’ve really been inspired to push on.
great to know the values on a diploma
I feel bad for r-51
Cant wait for Top secret area 51 class hahaha jokes aside great episode!
Dr. Roger Billings, I can’t believe that you didn’t like homework.
I can’t wait to Graduate!
Getting a diploma is like realizing your childhood is over and time to be an adult an make big changes.
could there be more species that could see the color red?
The robot is so cute! I’ve never been interested in robotics, but I think I may start looking into it! Thank you for this segment.
CAN”T WAIT FOR THE NEW COURSE!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I feel like Dr B understands us, gets how school can be hard, or maybe how the social dynamic is difficult. Failure teaches more than “winning” all the time, progress over perfection. Thank goodness you started this little thing called “Acellus” my daughter is 5 and loves it. Some things she is finding boring or too easy but she is just starting. I cannot wait to see where Acellus takes her, thank you Dr Billings!
