Choosing Online Highschool

[Lisa* 1]

Hello,

 

I have a soon-to-be 9th grader. Does anyone have advice about online high schools? He currently is taking three courses at WTMA, which are fabulous. I would love to continue with the curriculum throughout high school, but I am concerned that because WTMA is not accredited, nor a "proper" high school, competitive colleges will not look at him. Furthermore, as a friend asked, oh, will he have to get a GED since he will not graduate from a school?

Any advice? Thoughts? 

Thank you!

Hi, Lisa, 

Did you find the answers to your questions? 

If not, I would encourage you to check out Bauer's book, Rethinking School. 

Also, as you have a child taking WTMA classes, they might be willing to answer some questions too. 

Quick thoughts. Hope you found some answers!
