Ask BOHS
September 11th, 2007I was wondering if you have any information about the schools BYU Independent Study and Christa McAuliffe Academy? I am interested in finding an online high school that offers teacher support, creative online material and a credited diploma. Any information and help would be most appreciated. I am currently in Austria and don’t have access to your book. Is it possible to view it online?

Dear DC,
I think that both programs are of high quality. In regards to the BYU program, it is my understanding that it does not offer a diploma to teens. The diploma track is specifically for adults. I do not believe that has changed, but you will want to confirm that with them. There are now so many choices available that it is difficult to keep track of all the requirements.
As for Christa McAuliffe, it has a solid reputation and has proven popular with the online crowd.
Unfortunately (or fortunately for my children’s college fund), my book is not available online at this point. I am working out a way to offer it in a digital format and it should be available in just a couple of weeks.
If you wanted to ask more specific questions, I would be happy to help. I believe that both of those programs do meet your cited requirements, but there are many other choices as well.
