Online Education in K-12 - an education revolution

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

There is an education revolution sweeping through the United States. Discerning parents are seeking the best education for their child. For many plugged-in students, the best education may come in online schools, not in a traditional classroom. According to the Sloan Consortium, more than 1 million U.S. elementary and secondary students now take all or part of their class load online, according to The Sloan Consortium. That’s a 2000% increase since 2000, when only 50,000 pioneering students ventured online for their education. Global Student Network has assisted schools and students in 50 states and 26 countries to offer online education to primary or secondary students, and some experts predict that by 2015, half of all classes will be online. School administrators who are curious about this exploding trend in education and want to develop this outstanding resource in their own school are always impressed with Global Student Network’s ability to assist them in offering online courses to their students. Typically, a school can move from thinking about having a Virtual Learning Academy to operating one in days, not weeks or months. GSN informs and assists administrators every day on leveraging the power of online learning so they can offer a robust educational program for their schools, students, and families.
