Virtual Charter Schools

As parents consider full-time online education for their child and examine the programs offered by the schools listed and linked below, it is suggested that they explore the following ideas and questions in making an informed decision for their child.

1. Full-time online education requires a high capacity for independent and motivated learning without the daily face-to-face guidance of teachers or the social environment that traditional schools offer.  To be successful, the student should have a strong work ethic and the motivation needed to work consistently and independently.  Does your child possess these traits?
2. Full-time online education requires a high degree of home support and parental involvement for student success.  A parent or other responsible adult must provide daily supervision to ensure the education benefit for the student.  Would there be an adult presence to provide supervision and direction for your child?
