Is virtual school right for you?
The skills the high school student needs most to be a successful online learner are the same ones needed in traditional schooling: preparation, organization and self-discipline. The difference is in how each of these skills are used.
Set aside a significant amount of time each week for school. We recommend at least twenty hours. Online learning requires as much time and effort as regular schooling. Develop a schedule and stick to it. Without the structure of weekly class meetings, the student may be tempted to put off school work until the last minute. Instead, the student should give himself extra time to do the work, because technology can slow down the process.
Without an instructor and fellow students nearby to offer help and support, the student will be relying on himself more than ever. Resources that are available to help, include study guides, online tutorials, the Internet, and institute time.
Though we can't guarantee anyone's personal gain, we can guarantee that we will give each student the best possible preparation. We will do the best we can to give students the tools necessary to be successful.
