Free online high schools are becoming increasingly common. Less than three years ago, a student would have to look far and wide to find a program that was not either a commercial school or a university-based school. While both were good choices then and are good choices now, what has emerged over the last few years is another option.

What are they?

There are three basic kinds of free online high schools. They are:

1. Charter schools

2. Department of Education-sponsored or school-district-sponsored schools

3. Corporate-sponsored, but state-approved schools
