text: Most schools have students taking up to eight classes each school year, but many students would like to challenge themselves with more classes or would like to take classes the school may not offer. All students have different interests and learning capabilities that can't always be offered by schools but can be given by online classes. For instance, if a student wanted to take a foreign language, such as Swahili, most schools do not offer this course but it could easily be taught to the student through an online class. Students who are considered to be gifted may want to take higher level classes that the school doesn't have and could take the class with a online program at home so they can fulfill their interests and challenge themselves to do a difficult task. Not only can online classes provide courses that the school doesn't have, but can also provide the classes schools do have but in a different platform. If a student already has their eight classes for the year filled, they could take additional classes at home with online classes. Students who want to graduate high school early, or are simply eager to learn something different, can greatly benefit from online classes at home.
