Debunk the myths of online education.

We'll help you separate fact from fiction.

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) and Honors courses than some 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: Online courses are every bit as rigorous as those in traditional schools. All courses are college ready and offered at or above grade-level requirements and meet all state and federal certifications. Students also learn valuable discipline and time management skills that are useful in a college setting.

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, there are tools that our teachers use 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.
