Is Online the Right Choice?

Is online learning the right choice for you or your son/daughter?

Online courses offer many benefits to students.  These courses offer more flexibility than what can be found in a traditional classroom. The education that students receive in Hilliard’s online courses aligns with what they would receive in a classroom since all of our courses are designed and taught by our own high-quality Hilliard teachers.  Many students experience a great deal of success with online courses.  But, online courses are not the best educational fit for every student. Understanding the expectations and commitment required to be successful in an online course are important for any student and parent.

What types of students take online courses?

Students who…

  • Take advantage of enrichment opportunities such as Zoo School, Columbus State, Mentorship, etc.
  • Have personal or health issues and need flexibility with attendance
  • Struggle with anxiety or situational stress
  • Are aspiring to be professional athletes, musicians, artists

Do online students stop attending their home schools?

Flexibility is the key word when it comes to being an online student in Hilliard.  What being an online student looks like on a day to day basis varies from student to student.  Learn more on the registration page.
