I have a LOT of experience- this is my daughter’s 3rd year of cyberschool. She is not tied into any one diploma program, so there are many options. It may depend upon whether you want “live” classes that you have to attend, or a more flexible schedule. She has taken AP Eng Lit (soph, didn’t take exam- done on block schedule which I would NOT recommend!), AP Bio and APUSH thru Apex (5s in both- very thorough courses). This year she is taking AP Calc AB thru U Miami Online HS (more expensive, but teachers available all day until 10pm), AP Euro hist and AP Psych thru Aventa (a lot of reading and writing). You need to be very, very disciplined. Some teachers will dock you points if you don’t stick to your schedule. I have found the online teachers to be much more accessible than “live” teachers; they have office hours and respond to emails promptly.
