I need to get the best online school for a middle school child?

Question

My daughter got kicked out of school for defending herself in a fight so they said either she gets home school or go to a G.I.V.E Center and i think if they send her their that she'll come out worst. So please help me to find a good online middle school.

Answer 1

This looks like an interesting option although it is very expensive - http://www.virtualacademyms.com/Home.htm...

Look for your state.

It's a fabulous educational endeavor.

Answer 3

Your daughter defended herself and should be commended!

My kids are in PA Cyber, and I am really pleased. They take kids in PA, Ohio, and New Mexico. But I know there are other cyber schools, if you are not in those states.

  If I had to find another school, I would look on the Internet to find names, then look again at postings from users. If no one complains, it could be okay- I am at PA Cyber because my friend complained about it the least, which is high praise from her. Then I would contact the school to see how much info they can send you. They might invite you to a meet&greet to find out more.

    I don't think you can go wrong with an online school. If you don't like it, you can change schools- something the cyber schools remember and the public schools don't want to consider. Good Luck!

Answer 4

By "homeschool", I'm sure they meant "home bound" (called by different names in various states).  That means a tutor would come to your house and give her the school work, pick it up, help her, etc.

If your state has virtual charter public schools, you could go that route.
