3 min to read
Every child deserves a great education. However, some families don’t stay in one place very long. Perhaps they’re expats who live overseas or military families who want their student to graduate with a U.S. high school diploma. Or maybe they have a student athlete or performer who needs more flexibility with their unconventional schedule but doesn’t live in a state where online public schools like Connections Academy are available. Regardless of the reason, many families find success enrolling their child in an international online private school like Pearson Online Academy.
