Myth: Online schools can't compete with traditional education.
Reality: Online schools are every bit as good as traditional schools. Our students can receive more one-on-one support from their teachers and academic coach than in most traditional schools. Additionally, online institutions tend to offer more Advanced Placement (AP) courses than most traditional schools.

Myth: Online courses lack interaction.
Reality: An online education provides students primarily with one-on-one interaction. Unless a teacher sets up a discussion session with multiple students, all communication is one-on-one through email, instant messaging, virtual whiteboards, and phone communications.

Myth: Online courses are less challenging than traditional classes.
Reality: Kaplan High School offers a rigorous college prep curriculum, and all courses offered are at or above grade-level requirements and meet all state and federal certifications. Plus, the discipline and time management skills learned through online school are extremely valuable if a student wishes to go to college.

Myth: Students are more likely to cheat online.
Reality: It's no easier to cheat online than in a traditional classroom. All tests and assignments require critical thinking skills, keeping academic misconduct at a minimum. Plus, our teachers use software to monitor plagiarism and manage test taking.

Myth: Students don't get enough interaction with other students.
Reality: Because of the flexibility online school offers, students have the time to get involved with a wide variety of extracurricular activities including sports, church, work, or volunteering. We also offer ways for students to get involved with school organizations and other students.
