An online school (also known as a virtual school, cyber school, or e-school) is an institution dedicated to teaching students via the internet. Students attend classes online and benefit from the latest educational technologies. This can be quite different from traditional setups.
Notes and textbooks are readily available (for free) to attendees of two types of online high school: online charter and public high school. In some cases, the students have to purchase textbooks from the school’s book store. This is often the case in online private schools.
An online school (also known as a virtual school, cyber school, or e-school) is an institution dedicated to teaching students via the internet. Students attend classes online and benefit from the latest educational technologies. This can be quite different from traditional setups.

Online public high schools:- These are similar to the traditional government-funded public schools. They must follow government rules and regulations. They can be found in several states, including California, Illinois, North Carolina, and Alaska.
Online private high schools:- These are similar to private high schools. They are privately funded, unlike public high schools. Students are required to pay tuition fees, which can be rather expensive.
Cyber charter high schools:- These are similar to brick-and-mortar charter schools, except that students are taught via the internet. Cyber charter high schools depend on state or federal funding. Of all the states, only twelve provide this form of education: Alaska, Idaho, Ohio, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Nevada, Texas, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, California, Arizona, and Kansas.
The only similarity between these types of online high schools and regular, traditional high schools is that the students attend classes. Apart from that, they differ in a several important respects, including lesson presentation and the educational roles taken by teachers.
A few online private high schools offer classes via interactive multimedia presentations. The teachers in these schools play the primary educational role. On the contrary, in online public and cyber charter high schools, parents play the primary educational role. Teachers fulfill a more secondary role.
Easy access to coursework:- Having 24/7 access to course materials allows students to study and complete their course anytime, irrespective of their location. All they need is their laptop or other digital devices to log into the student portal on the university website. This gives immediate access to assignments, research, teachers, classmates, and even grades.
Effective time management:- Online education can offer significant advantages in terms of time management. This is because it gives students much more flexibility over their day to day timetables. For people with outside commitments such as work or childcare, not being tied to a strict school schedule can be an absolute lifesaver.
Immediate feedback and connection:- Online schools can excel in this respect. Students can communicate very easily with teachers and other students, and receive feedback instantly.
An easier environment focus:- It is not always easy to focus. Our lives are full of many distractions that can stand in the way of good grades. Online schools gives students the opportunity to create an environment more conducive to focused learning without distraction.
While premier online high schools such as Stanford University Online High School charge an annual cost of around $22,850, there are more cost-friendly options. International Connections Academy costs $6,880 per year, Whitmore School has plans starting from $1,599 and Excel High School has an all-inclusive plan for $1,290. However, many online high schools charge per course, with prices ranging from $200 to $800 per course. Therefore, there are ways to ease your transition into studying without having to make an overwhelming financial commitment.
Four years of high school are a bit too much for those seeking to get their diploma. So it is good to know that there are many options out there. Some online high schools operate a self-paced schedule, allowing students to study faster or slower depends on their own needs. And according to Excel High School, a person with no high school credit at all can graduate in one to two years. People who already have some high school credits can graduate in 6-12 months! Of course, these figures depend on the student’s progress and are not a guarantee.
If a person without a high school diploma is satisfied by his career path and a diploma won’t help them advance, then maybe a high school diploma isn’t necessary. However, for high school dropouts who aren’t satisfied with their career path or job prospects, a high school diploma could be life changing. By most metrics of the US Census Bureau, high school graduates have an easier path to success. Even if you were not able to finish high school as a teen, time is a precious asset. The faster you catch up, the better your chances to succeed.
