Yes. Please see the attached sample diploma.
Yes, the FIA diploma is a globally recognized high school diploma and can be used to apply to universities and colleges around the world.
However, each institution sets its own admission requirements and makes independent decisions regarding eligibility and credit recognition. As a result, admission outcomes may vary from one university to another.
In cases where a specific institution may not accept or fully recognize the FIA diploma for its own internal policies, we encourage students to explore other universities, as we are not able to influence individual admissions decisions.
Overall, the FIA diploma provides an internationally recognized academic pathway that supports students in applying to higher education institutions across the United States, Europe, Asia, and beyond.
Yes. Forward International Academy is listed in the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Private School Directory under school code 3269-1959. The FIA diploma is recognized in the United States and is also internationally recognized.
Yes. In the United States, an official signature is commonly used as the authorized form of validation for diplomas, rather than an embossed or physical stamp. Upon graduation, students receive a signed electronic diploma as official confirmation of completion.
It is also important to understand that the diploma serves as formal recognition of high school graduation. For university applications, institutions primarily evaluate the official transcript, which provides a detailed record of the courses taken and the grades earned. For FIA's transcript, we include the official stamp to ensure formal verification.
Yes, students receive their diploma directly from FIA by email.
Please refer this answer to Q7.
The monthly tuition fee paid to Girls College in Kabul covers Girls College's cost of delivering instruction and supporting day-to-day school operations, including staff salaries, facilities, and security.
The $100 annual fee paid to FIA is a separate registration and academic records maintenance fee. This fee is not tuition. It is used to maintain each student's official academic record within FIA's school system, including transcript management, record verification, and administrative processing required to ensure the continuity and integrity of each student's academic file every year. It also supports curriculum access and teacher training for Girls College teachers to ensure consistent delivery of FIA's academic program.
The $100 annual fee is not a fee paid only to receive the diploma, and therefore it cannot be waived or deferred as a one-time diploma payment.
This fee is a required annual registration, curriculum, and academic records maintenance fee. It ensures that each student's official academic record is continuously maintained within FIA's school system, including transcript management, record verification, and administrative processing to preserve the integrity and continuity of the student's academic file each year. It also supports curriculum access and teacher training for partner school teachers to ensure consistent delivery of FIA's academic program.
Because this fee is tied to the ongoing maintenance of academic records and program delivery, it is required annually for all enrolled students and cannot be exempted or postponed.
