You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t offer. Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class – through distance learning.

Distance education means taking a class without being physically present where it is being taught. Internet – based technology lets students participate in lectures and class sessions online from almost anywhere.

Some high schools agree to recognize distance – learning credits when the don’t have the rescources to offer a course themselves. Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP courses.

For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening or participating in a class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other high school students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.
