Online classes to take during the summer

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>As my title explains it, I am looking into taking a few online classes during the summer. Originally, I planned on taking them at my local CC but then I realized that I'll have transportation issues, so I started considering online classes. </p>

<p>Do you guys know of any "online schools" that teach physics and calculus?</p>

<p>How much do they cost generally? Do you get college credit?</p>

<p>I'm going to take those two classes next year so I wanted to get a little intro to the subject before I take it at school (physics especially...since I have no physics background and I've landed myself in AP).</p>

<p>I'm new to the whole online dealio...so this may sound like a stupid question: Do you have to take the online class at a specific time? Or do you just learn anytime you want?</p>

<p>Also...I posted this in another forum so if you see it twice don't get annoyed! I just wanted to get as much feedback as possible!</p>

<p>I took online AP courses at this place called Apex.com . I'm not sure if they have non-AP classes or not. It was OK. You could learn them material whenever you wanted, but there were due dates for the assignments and whatnot. I think it was a tad expensive too. Don't really remember how much, but it definitely wasn't cheap and probably wasn't worth the money.</p>

<p>ummm...I don't know if I did something wrong but Apex.com is moved to avocent.com?</p>

<p>...which doesn't look right.</p>

<p>Maybe they meant <a href="http://www.apexlearning.com/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.apexlearning.com/&lt;/a> </p>

<p>I just did a quick google search and this looks like it fits the description.</p>

<p>Yeah that's the correct site. Sorry.</p>

<p>I can't find anything that talks about the price...do you guys know where that info. is?</p>

<p>I might be taking a few classes this summer with Apex. I emailed them a few weeks ago and they said it costs about $350 per semester and $300 for a summer semester. Those prices are for non-AP courses.</p>

<p>Are there any classes you can take online that you can get college credit for?</p>

<p>Using Apex, I don't think so, but I may be wrong. You can email them. The address is on their website.</p>

<p>I haven't had experience with this program, but the mathematics department head at my daughter's high school said that it was excellent:</p>
