Last week I wrote a post about private online high schools. There are a lot of virtual private school alternatives, but they can really take a toll on your wallet. Instead, you may want to consider public online high schools. They are free to resident minors and usually have regional accreditation.
My latest About.com article, Public Online High Schools, explores some of the benefits and drawbacks of these state-run programs. Here's a blurb:
"Students attending public online high schools are often able to earn a regionally accredited diploma at no cost. Their parents don't need to worry about paying for expensive private virtual programs which can cost upwards of $1,500 a year. State-wide online public schools are generally working with the state's education department. Unlike online charter schools, they are generally not viewed as a threat by local districts. They tend to be more stable and receive less public scrutiny."
Check out the full article for more information and links to public online high schools.
