Online High School FAQ
What is the difference between online and traditional high school?
Answer: Online high schools only hold classes online and students and teachers are no way to see each other in person, while in traditional schools the teachers and students have personal touch and they see each other everyday. The methods of teaching in typical traditional schools are also different as compared to online high schools.
How do I know that the school is accredited?
Answer: When you visit the school prior to enrolment period you should be able to ask the administration staff of the school if it has accreditation. If it is an online school you can visit their website and see if they have published the basic information about the school. This is usually the section where you will know their accreditation. If not, you can ask information to the ministry of education in the country to know whether the school is a certified accredited school by regional government bodies.
How to apply for online high schools?
Answer: If you are an international student there's no way you can apply for online public high schools. This kind of government-controlled institution is usually servicing only to students within the country. Your chances are only at the private online schools because they are the kind of schools which accept enrolment from international students. To apply for this school you should get first-hand information online at their website. These high schools usually display at their website the enrolment schedule as well. You can apply online because they are providing free application forms.
Do I need to be a computer geek to enrol online?
Answer: Well, it's a plus factor if you are a computer geek but it's not a guaranteed skill for you to be accepted by the school. Most schools offer online education admission test so the first hurdle to tackle is to pass the examination. You will not be admitted if you will not pass the admission test. If you pass the test and are admitted, it means that at least you have basic knowledge in computer operation and basic commands.
