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 the distance learning.

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

Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a courses themselves. Distance education is often used to increases 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 the other high school students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.
