A digital, or online school, like Mountain Heights Academy has its perks: incredible flexibility, one-on-one teacher support, and more, but it may not be for everyone. Take the quiz below and see if a digital education is a good fit for you.
For every question below, mark down a 2 for “Yes”, a 1 for “Maybe” and a 0 for “No.”
- Do you like the traditional school setup?
- Do you thrive on going to school from 7:30 to 2:30 every day?
- Do you have a health problem that hinders your ability to attend school?
- Do you have an unusual schedule due to work, acting, music, sports, etc.?
- Do you have interest in a physical activity not offered at school (ie. dance, ice skating, skiing, etc.)
- Do you want to graduate early?
- Do you prefer working at your own pace, in your own space?
- Does going to school every day make you anxious?
- Have you had trouble with bullying?
- Are you comfortable using a computer and would you be able to access and submit your coursework without any foreseeable problems?
- Do you wish that you could meet with your teachers more frequently and have more individual attention?
- Do you have the ability to set your own school schedule and follow through in order to be successful with your school work?
Now that you’ve finished the quiz, tally up your scores.
If your score is 1-5, traditional high school may be a better fit for you.
If your score is 6-11, have the ability to thrive in either a traditional setting or an online environment. You might be interested in a best of both worlds approach by taking half of your classes at your neighborhood school, and half of your classes online.
If your score is 12-17, a digital learning experience would be a good fit for you because an online environment may meet your needs much better.
If your score is 18-24, a digital school could be a great fit for you!
