Virtual schools?

Question

anyone know any good/great virtual schools for a highschool student and as well cheap, and why it is a good virtual school. ty.

Answer 1

Come on, don't use a virtual school. You're mind and body will degrade from being dependent on a computer. Half the benefit of school is learning social skills. Colleges will probably reject them too. Please don't virtual schools, please.

Answer 2

I haven't used these personally, as my son is in 5th grade, but I've heard the following are really pretty good...and I like what I see enough to bookmark them for researching in the future.

Answer 3

I disagree with Daboy.. Colleges love homeschooled/cyber schooled students because they are already successful in independent learning.. No one is going to hold your hand in college! many states have free online cyber schools.. My daughter uses one and she's ahead of the kids in her grade that are in public school (told to us by the public school principal)

Answer 4

www.flvs.net and it's free.  I know it is for the state of FL, but the accept students from anywhere.  

Also, there are other schools like:

Penn Foster High School.  I use this school.

Laurel Springs High School

Keystone National High School  

Allied High School.
