Distance Learning
Presented in alphabetical order (and almost certainly incomplete as new ones enter the market every
day), what follows is simply a list of places offering distance learning. Many
thanks
to Rebecca Rupp's book, Home Learning Year by Year: How to Design a
Homeschool Curriculum from Preschool Through High School and Cafi Cohen's
book, And What About College? This list was compiled using both of those
books and a few hours of internet research.
Some of the programs listed below grant high
school diplomas and have multi-state enrollment. The types of accreditation may
differ; some have no accreditation at all.
Unlike some of the other resources posted in the
WHE website, inclusion on this list does not imply endorsement. These places are
listed here simply as a convenience to help you if you are investigating the
options for distance learning.
