I would do this in a HEARTBEAT were DD not now in college.
She looked at this program last night with me and was incredibly saddened to note that it is seven years late for her-- but this is all the things that were GOOD about distance learning for her, and more of those things, and (hopefully) very little of the things that were bad about Connections.
And yes, online school can very definitely be "real" school. This one looks completely solid, in my experience (8 y with Connections Acadmey, time on advocacy/boards/etc). I saw no red flags for anything that I know to look out for, and neither did DD.
This is the first such program (online high school) that I've seen that I can honestly say that about.
