Online High

I received this question in my email today. The student was wondering if there was a difference in that and an online high school. “Cyber high school” is one of those terms could have been the one that made it. Another one that was in the mix was “virtual high school.”

These are both terms for what are now primarily called “online high schools.” Perhaps the second most common would be that “virtual high school” one. I rarely see the “cyber” one anymore. For a while, though, people were attaching “cyber” to anything related to the Internet. While I won’t call the term dead because it is certainly still out there, it has suffered from overuse, that is certain.

However, for our purposes here, all three terms - online, virtual, cyber - are synonyms. There is no difference at all.
