I want to/my child wants to attend a distance learning K-12 school. Where do I start?

You should start by calling a lawyer and discerning the home/alternative schooling laws in your state.

We've learned the laws in our state. Now what?

Browse some of our lists. Go by your child's grade level and see what's available for them. Check their method of teaching and make sure it is a type of teaching your child will do well with. Click on the school names on our lists to look over their fact sheets.

How do I use those school fact sheets?

For an in-depth overview of how to use our school fact sheets, please check out our How to Use the K-12 Fact Sheets guide.

Are all of these programs online schools?

No, distance learning encompasses much more than just online classes. For more information about what distance learning is all about, please check out our "What is Distance Learning?" guide. For more information on the delivery methods seen in distance learning please check out our Distance Learning Formats guide.

Will I ever need to go to a regular school?

Probably not unless you want to. If you'd like to get involved with activities at your local school, you may, but they aren't usually required.

Is this site run by a school?

DistanceLearningInfo.com is not run by any school or other institution of learning, nor are we run in affiliation with any such institution. By being independently owned we are better able to meet the needs of our visitors and provide unbiased information about the various programs and schools available.

Why did you build this web site?

As a former distance learning student I wanted to make other potential distance learners aware of the opportunities that existed for them. There are always alternatives to the way things are usually done, but they are all to often too hard to find

Where did you get all of this information?

I have researched all of the schools profiled here. The information was gleaned from the school web sites and other publications and organized by me for presentation here. Many hours of research have built this web site.

Will my diploma get me/my child into college?

What is transferable always depends upon the policies of the individual schools involved, but the schools profiled here are well accredited and well-recognized. You shouldn't have a problem getting into college in most cases.
