Virtual high school enrollment has been steadily increasing in the past number of years. According to a 2011 report from the Evergreen Education Group there has been 25% increase in enrollment between the 2010 – 2011 school year.

Do you know any advanced learners, athletes, or students that travel frequently? They’re a few of the types that she outlines as being able to benefit from the online format.
