Online School Solutions: Could this solve your schooling needs?
Online School Solutions will help you with your middle school or high school students educational needs. From being a part of a full school year to taking individual classes, this site can help your student achieve his or her goals. This site will direct you to online private or public schools based on where you live by state. The online public schools vary but all states have access to Keystone School which is a private school option.
So, what is the difference between private and public online schools? (taken from the website)
Private:
- Students can enroll any time of the year
- Complete flexibility for students to create their own schedule and have 12 months to complete their courses
- Students are offered optional mid-term and end of course assessments to measure achievement growth
- Work with other students from across the US and around the world!
Public:
- Tuition-free
- Students follow a traditional school year
- Students may be required to take standardized state tests
The private school option also offers the ability to take individual classes which can be a lifesaver to many homeschooling parents. If you are uneasy about teaching your child a subject, for a low cost you can enroll your student in an online school for math, science, language and even extracurricular activities.
Normally, I am not attracted to online schools. However, after researching Online School Solutions, I have changed my mind. In fact, I have a few classes jotted down that look like great options for my junior high student. If you are unsure about the Keystone School, you can enroll your child in one class and see how it goes! It is just so nice to have options for schooling our children at home if necessary.
