If your high school will give you credit, you can get ahead in high school by taking required courses online at your own pace. Or, you could get college credit for many online courses (the ones offered by colleges) and this will help you start out ahead when you get to college.

Some schools use internet resources, such as online lessons, teacher support online, or online homework systems, but a fully online school (virtual school or cyber-school) teaches entirely or primarily through online methods.

The Keystone School (part of a K12 company) is a private online school for middle and high school. The George Washington University Online High School is a virtual college preparatory school for high-achieving high school students.
