subject: High School Courses Online: Where To Get Them [print this page] With the explosion of the Internet has come a high demand for not only high school courses online, but also high school diploma programs online. Not all the organizations that offer courses offer diplomas though and you have to be careful when you choose one to make sure it matches up with your goals.
In the near future, none of what we know about traditional education will likely be true. We know that online high schools and universities are springing up all over the place in response to the public's demand for more flexibility in the learning experience. People are demanding the option to absorb subjects and learn traditional and nontraditional subjects in the comfort of their own homes, since the Internet allows for such ubiquitous flexibility. This is certainly very easy to do on the Internet but some larger more historically conservative institutions are taking the slow road to getting to that point.
These are the types of schools out there where you can get a secondary education on the Internet...
Public Schools and Charter Schools - This is a way for you to free education. There is typically not a charge for either a public high school online or a charter school online. The problem may be though that you cannot get a traditional diploma from one of these institutions. An additional problem with the charter school is that they tend to cater to a specific subject to the minimization of others. For example, charter schools often focus on math or science, or maybe even the arts. This may or may not be what you are after, so if it is not unique just keep on looking for an online institution that fits what you need.
Private Schools - If you go this route it is going to be expensive, but it is probably the most solid and reliable way to get an online education other than through a major college or university.
Colleges - Universities, like Stanford, and many colleges are beginning to offer online high school classes. This is a very prestigious avenue to get your high school diploma onine and to put yourself in a great position to springboard into a reputable college soon thereafter.
These are generally always credited both nationally and regionally, so it is very safe way to go.
In summary, there are tremendous opportunities now for you to take high school courses online. Let the buyer beware though, because the low cost options may or may not be right for you and what you are after.
