Does anyone know of legitimate, accredited online schools? I.e a kid goes away for a semester and needs to supplement credits
@Center, take a look at the Florida Virtual School, www.flvs.net, administered by the Florida Department of
Education, offers regular, honors and advanced high school courses in a wide array of subjects, middle school and high school level. Students from families residing in Florida can register tuition free. OOS students are charged $500 per course.
Stanford and George Washington have online HS programs. Many states have one they participate in - google homeschool and your state. Many use K12 or something like that.
@MA2012 thnaks Stanford is too rigid to accommodate our needs. But we have looked into k12. Thanks!
We used k12 for many years when we homeschooled. Many states offer free versions. We have also used BYU independent study online high school as well as massachusetts online high school (when our middle school didn’t offer geometry- our school district offered this one.)
Thanks @vegas1
Massachusetts Mayflower Academy, a program of The Virtual High School: http://www.thevhs.org/full-time-online-private-high-school.
University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Indiana University both have accredited high-school level online courses.
Check out Dwight Global Online School - www.dwight.edu/dwight-global-online-school . It’s a part of New York City’s Dwight School. We’ve heard very good things about it.
When I researched homeschooling long ago, I heard good things about Laurel Springs School.
Laurel Springs has good reviews-we have since talked to some parents of kids who are in the school. TECCA Connections through MA is widely used as well
Yes. Check out The Virtual Academy. Fully accredited by SAIS and NCAA. Check out their students.

Stanford online high school was ranked #3, and very challenging and rigorous according to local friends. Probably good for people wanting boarding school rigor while continuing homeschooling.
And now, Laurel Springs ads have replaced boarding school ads all over my feed! LOL
@Center
I have done K12 before (in elementary) and due to traveling am doing it this year as well… PM if you have any questions…
@SculptorDad - Ranked #3 where?
@SculptorDad
Stanford OHS would probably not be possible for OP… OP said that the timeline was more like a semester… SOHS is a full time (and reasonably competitive) school that have admission seasons and enrollment for at least a year…
When I looked into SOHS a couple of years ago, you were able to take courses and not fully enroll. Has that changed?
@laenen
I apologize, I think I didn’t fully elaborate in my post above…
Yes, you can take a part-time courses, but OP said that the kid might be out of school for a semester…
So I am assuming that he/she should be enrolled in a school for that duration (bc of legality of a kid not going to school)… The part time courses of SOHS will count as stand-alone courses but not a substitute for school… In addition, in a part time enrollment you can take a max of 3 courses, so you would not be able to take all your required classes… There might be some loopholes and such but this was the case last year when we checked it out as option…
Oh as a completely unrelated side note: I love your new profile… Skipper… eeep 
@HMom16
National for private high schools, although it’s now #4 here;

There was some other rankings that I don’t remember at the moment.
@Atria
Yes. You can’t just register with OHS for one semester as a regular student. My mistake.
