It is not yet the main thing, but it is a pretty cool concept. Now the most common question is, who is online high school for? The answer is simple and complicated at the same time – anyone.
There is a notion that online high school is just for teens and troubled students. But, the truth is, online high school may be beneficial to many other students like:
- Gifted students – students who are gifted in certain areas have a tendency to get bored and lack motivation if they attend class with their age group in a traditional school. If they get accelerated to a higher level, most find it more challenging to fit in since situations with older age groups may require emotional and social maturity, which they may not yet be ready for at a younger age.
- Adult learners – adults who missed out or were not able to finish high school as teens can benefit a lot out of online schools. They need not have to worry about the awkwardness of attending school with much younger people and they can have education despite a busy adult lifestyle.
