Channel 9 Newscast
Our August open house attracted various local news organizations resulting in a brief television spot on WFTV Orlando, Channel 9’s evening news. The story discusses how the use of online education in public schools can actually save the county thousands of dollars per student. The cost difference between a full time online high school student and one in the traditional classroom is roughly $ 3,000.
With studies consistently showing that online education is more effective than face to face teaching, we are assured that little if any academic quality would be lost by expanding the scale of online. education. The money saved through the computerized curriculums could be put towards arts and athletics programs which have suffered major cuts in the last years due to local and national tightening of education budgets.
