Online Education

I am a full supporter of online educational opportunities. High school students can use the online format to continue to take classes in areas that interest them but are unable to take at their own high school or local community college. College students can complete whole degrees, or transfer the credit they receive from their online classes so they meet their graduation requirements.

However, all online schools are not created equal. In fact, some of them are not schools at all. For those of you who are interested in exploring online opportunities, please visit the US Department of Education's database that communicates the accreditation status of colleges and universities. If the school is not regionally or nationally accredited you may want to pursue other avenues.
