Online schooling... The way to go!

So recently I've been kinda bored. I have gone out with friends and such, but you can only be with the same people for so long. So I started programming some more, gaming a bit stuff like that. My friend suggested that I sign up for some online courses to get ahead for next year. Basically, what I finish online I will have a blank period next year, so I just go home. And I live right next to my High School, so that works fine. Yesterday I finished a term of English, and learned a lot more than I would have from class. Today I'm working on Science, and it's all just so awesome!

Images of how it looks, and operates.

Spoiler:

A lot of times, they just give you a PDF file to learn from, or a movie. Sometimes they just ask you questions and you need to study for yourself. This way, you can learn all types of ways to apply yourself. I really am loving this, and I suggest this to anyone looking for an alternative.

Is this online schooling towards your degree, or is this just courses online that offer certificates of completion?

HighSchool credits.

Each class gives a credit. You need a certain amount of credits to pass. I am taking some in the summer, in order to get ahead. So in the school year, I won't have nearly as many classes to go to. So I get some periods off. (6 to be exact.)

Just make sure they're accepted by your state. A lot of them are starting to crack down on online schools for being diploma mills.

It's ran by my district, I've already seen credits come in.

This is a pretty good system, TBH. You must be lazy as fuck to not go to school if it's that close. :p I'd do the same though, and I only lived 200m away from my classroom. I kind of miss school though and seeing my mates everyday, so I'd recommend going before it's too late!

That's awesome. I wish I had online High School. It would've made everything so much easier to be honest.

I wish this offer was available in Norway.
