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. 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.
