National Cyber High Schools

The list of online schools below are nationwide. Most of them supply curriculum to state or private K-12 cyber charter schools or online high schools. If you are going to use these independent of a state funded program (you are paying out of your pocket) you should ask the schools to talk to a client. Online curriculum can be expensive and some are great and some are not so great. That means that they haven't yet developed the interactive curriculum as extensively as they should. 

Our first experience when my child was in middle school was with Class.com and we loved it.  It was very interactive, fun to watch and we both learned a lot.  Later in High School she took a drivers education course from another provider and we weren't pleased with it at all. Essentially I had to read the book to her and she took tests online. The online component hadn't been developed nearly enough for teenagers ANXIOUS to take drivers ed.

Some of the courses below are connected to colleges and universities. The MU High School is from the University of Missouri, a leader and catalyst of this distance learning explosion.  Their courses are excellent, however their tests need to be proctored, meaning you will have to go to a testing station or someone qualified to give your child the test.  MU High School will help you with that but it's still something to consider as you choose a school.  Lastly, I think if you were paying for this out of your pocket you could pick and choose a course here and a course there from different schools.  The state funded cyber schools do that meaning the curriculum directors also understand weaknesses in some programs and strengths in others.  If you are going the state funded online or cyber high school direction, be proactive and ASK your counselor why one cyber program was chosen over another.
