I've had the pleasure of recently being employed with an online charter school called Colorado Distance and Electronic Learning Academy (CDELA). The teachers are wonderful people, and the whole premise of the school is such a fantastic way for parents who want an alternative to a brick and mortar public school. Students login to the website for a set number of hours from home. There are regular live web classes each week. Books, computer, fax/printer/scanner, and internet connection reimbursement are all provided - at no cost to the parents. And the best part is there is no tuition! Students must be Colorado residents to apply. I wish there were schools like this when I was a kid!
The school needs help though. They've only been open for one school year and as any beginning business/program it takes time to build. If you know anyone who would be interested in this type of learning opportunity, please send them this link. There are meet and greets going on all over the state of Colorado where parents and kids can meet the teachers and other parents who's children are enrolled with CDELA. It's a great opportunity to ask questions up close and personal. For information on the school or the meet and greet schedule go to www.cdela.com or call 866.442.3352.
I don't want this post to sound like an advertisement for the school, but I can't help but promote something I believe in, so there you have it.
