Anyone Taken High School Courses Online?

<p>I know that a lot of schools have summer school to get ahead, but has anyone taken summer online classes to get in those classes that just don't fit in your schedule?</p>

<p>I know it's kind of a weird topic, I was just wondering if anyone had done it. If you have, can you tell me what programs you used?</p>

<p>xD</p>

<p>Whoooo college...</p>

<p>Yeah, I took health online last semester because I couldn't fit it into my schedule. It was really easy to complete all the sections and I just had to take a proctored test after school one day. I took the class through BYU online.</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>I'm not taking any classes online.</p>

<p>i took a foreign language...easy, and ironically i learned 10x more than in the classroom.
i also too a few ap classes and know a lot of people who have taken lit and health/pe..its kind of common at my school. a lot of work, but really interesting and flexible</p>

<p>I took a few writing classes with CTY (center for talented youth) that were great but more for enrichment than in place of something.</p>

<p>ATLs09- Which foreign language program did you use and which ap programs did you use? When you say they were a lot of work, were they more work than ap classes at your high school? Did they prepare you well for the ap tests?</p>

<p>My daughter took foreign language through a correspondence course, but she did Latin. Since it doesn't have a spoken component in the same way that modern languages do, it was perfectly suited to correspondence.</p>

<p>I know quite a few kids who've done online classes, even many full-time traditional high school students for the same reason you mention; they can't fit all their graduation requirements into their school schedule. BYU is the general choice for students here because it's the only online course program the high school will transcribe onto their official transcripts.</p>

<p>Well I did them through Georgia Virtual School. Our State and county have a few online learning programs. During the summer they were about 600 dollars for a full credit and during the school year, free.</p>

<p>I took Spanish II, AP Psychology, and am currently taking AP Environmental Science. And YES they prepared me for the AP test..They have demanded me to read, which is probably what has helped. They also offered links and tools to help prepare for the tests. And they include online chats so you still get the group disscusions offered in a regular class.</p>

<p>The reading part is probably the only thing that has been more required work than in the regular classroom. At least at my school..you can easily get away without reading. But what the programs say (like 20 hrs a week for 1 credit) is usually right, but once you spread it out, its not that bad</p>

<p>can someone post the link for the BYU online classes?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>
