mohini Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I thought it might be of interest to some folks on here... I recently emailed Alt School to ask them if they were planning on releasing their platform to a wider audience and specifically to homeschoolers in the near future. Below is the response they sent me. Here's an article about Alt School http://www.wired.com/2015/05/altschool/ *NB I have no affiliation with them - I have also never actually been to one- but they are an interesting new player on the education field and I can see how the philosophy and the technology could be compatible with some homeschoolers. Even classical ones ;) " Thanks for reaching out. We're piloting a limited release of our platform late 2015. The software will definitely be something we can license to other schools or homeschoolers in the near future. We are just starting the process and do not have a schedule to share at this time. Our Visiting Scholars program has been working well for homeschoolers, since it allows for part-time attendance. I realize you are not in the area, but if we do come to your neighborhood, it is a great program to consider if you are homeschooling. In the meantime, we encourage you to stay connected. You can do that by signing up at http://info.altschool.com/signup/ to stay informed of our progress, and by following the latest updates about AltSchool on Facebook athttps://www.facebook.com/AltSchool and on our blog at http://blog.altschool.com/.
