DL School Choices

The DL option that I would pick for my child would be OHDELA! First off, their website is very user friendly, welcoming and catching. It's set up in a way which I found was helpful but also not so boring too look at. The very first thing that grabbed my attention was that children have the opportunity to make friends with their peers. Families and children get the chance to even have in person meets through OHDELA field trips and family days. They offer interactive software and live class sessions. The program is set up in a way where it works best to suit the needs of the individual child so that can succeed educationally and personally. I really liked the fact that they offer College Credit Plus which gives the chance for students to earn high school and college credits at the same time by taking courses at local community colleges and universities. National Honor Society is available as well, just like how it is in the schools. Also they offer independent study as an option where the student can work with an academic advisor to create an independent study for course credit. 

The DL Option that I would not pick for my child would be the Ohio Virtual Academy. The very first thing that I noticed when I was on their website was that it wasn't attention grabbing for me. The subjects that I found that were offered were art, music, world languages, AP courses, honors, and numerous electives. I liked the fact that world languages and numerous electives were offered but I just wanted some more courses as well to have been added onto that list. Another thing that I wish was offered was the field trip and family days that are offered at OHDELA.
