Bold Move: We Defined the Future of Education.

Technology alone won’t transform education. Taking our current model of one-size-fits-all education and delivering it from an onlinelearning school platform or other cutting-edge digital delivery method is like taking a Model T, adding new tires, and hoping it will fulfill the needs of car drivers today. This is a short-sighted attempt at leveraging the benefits of technology for education. Any virtual school program or curriculum must respect how each of its students learns best. We believe this new model of education, virtual schooling, represents the nexus of engaged human involvement and the new delivery method for curriculum and programs.

Accordingly, we define virtual schooling by the potential it holds: We see it as a personalized learning approach accomplished by leveraging the best of virtual and classroom-based schools and programs tailored to a child’s needs and interests.

Virtual schooling holds the potential to be the twenty-first century educational approach that can best address every child as an individual with a dominant learning style, myriad
intelligences, a unique learning pace, and unique aspirations. A child that is nurtured to respect how he or she learns best, the pace at which he or she likes to learn, along with his or her intelligences, unique talents, and passions, will learn to respect that elegant mix for the rest of his or her life. Christopher Paolini, author of the best-selling Eragon book series, graduated from high school at the age of 15 after having participated in an accredited correspondence
program. That program allowed him to work at his own pace and afforded him the freedom to explore his love for nature and literature. Now, all children can have that same opportunity.
