“Smart Horizons Career Online Education is really a natural continuation of what I established with the University of Miami Online High School,” Goldman said. “The University of Miami model was a high-tuition, online college preparatory program, but we have a very different clientele for Smart Horizons Career Online Education. We are aiming at the 45 million high school dropouts nationwide who will be able to use SHCOE as a stepping stone to a new career. We determined that with SHCOE, we would develop a model with low tuition—less than a thousand dollars for the entire program. This program will aid students to move forward and earn an online high school diploma and provide the knowledge base to build a viable career.”

Smart Horizons Career Online Education is a private online high school district that gives students returning to the education process an opportunity to earn an 18-credit high school diploma as well as complete course work for a career certificate. Online career certificate courses are currently offered in the fields of health care, early childhood education, transportation services, homeland security, protection services, and office management.
