Online schools like those offered by Washington Online School Network are a good choice for students looking for a personalized program that lets them complete their studies at their own speed and in their own setting, such as home-schooled-students, advanced learners, students with health or physical challenges, or those needing a flexible schedule in order to work or pursue outside interests. Washington Online School Network complies with all Washington graduation requirements and offers a full middle and high school curriculum, including electives and college preparatory courses.
