[quote=Anonymous]Our daughter also attended Stanford University Online High School.  We live in the FCPS area and FCPS's gifted and talented programs were excellent, but she needed more challenge and flexibility than TJHSST offered so she chose to attend and graduate from Stanford's OHS. It was a great time with summer sessions, prom (high school kids) and so on.  It was definitely much more challenging than TJ and I can't say enough about the critical thinking skills she learned. Also, it was powerful learning experience to attend class with students living throughout America and the world.

However, it depends what you need.  Many parents find it best to start with a hybrid plan.  Some brick and mortar and perhaps just one or two online classes.  We started with one online class while at TJ and didn't much look back.  It worked well.

Moving?  Education based on geographical location?  In 2012?   One needs to be careful moving to Fairfax (and other districts?) as the neighborhoods are often re-districted and you could be shuffled to a different program.  It is the nature of the beast in FCPS - it seems to always be growing, changing boundaries and gifted programs have also changed in the last few years in our area.

Best wishes for great happiness throughout your educational experiences...  [/quote]
