WHO WE ARE
Online Schools aims to be the premier portal for online education on the web. Our goal is not to revolutionize the concept of education, but rather to help bring people into the 21st century in terms of the way they perceive learning. Education is no longer simply about teachers and textbooks. In today's Internet age, education is now about infographics, blogs, e-books, web articles, YouTube, Wikipedia, and so much more. Thus, we at Online Schools do not propose to revolutionize education itself, but rather, we strive to revolutionize the way people think about and approach education.
That said, first and foremost, we do believe that all individuals should have a strong foundation in traditional learning, evidenced by our emphasis on providing honest, up-to-date and readily available information on accredited online schools.

They say, "You can never know a man until you walk a mile in his shoes." The same goes for online schools. Only once you have "been there and done that" can you truly know what online schools are all about.

If you have questions about attending school online, you need to see what students who have taken the plunge are saying about it. Are they glad they did it? Do they regret their decision? What are the similarities and differences between online and on-campus education?
