Yes, there are two approved private places to earn the extra class. You can take it in summer school. Northeast Prep Academy on Cottman Ave, and Del Valley High on 13th and Chancellor. I don't know the exact cost, but it will run you a few hundred dollars. Well worth it to get your diploma. Classes usually are about a month long. Call them up to ask for more information. Good luck!
