How Cyber Schools Work

Students have several curricula from which to choose - asynchronous learning (self-paced) and synchronous (real time) learning. An asynchronous curriculum is best for a student who needs greater flexibility in his or her schedule.

A synchronous curriculum is best for students who are interested in real-time instruction. This aspect create a Virtual Classroom for students where students can interact with the teacher as well as classmates through spoken, written, and auditory communication.
