What is an online school?

What are some free online middle school classes in montana?

• okay, so i just got expelled out of my school for one mistake (bringing a little marijuana to school) and have no way of enrolling in a different school, because they're all a little less than an hour away. i've resulted to enrolling in an online school. i looked at a ton of online schools, but NONE of them have Montana classes. do i have to click on Montana? cant i just click on a different state and enroll? i know it might not be that easy, that's why im asking. i just don't see why i have to be in one of the states that are available. PLEASE help! this is important, i can't be homeschooled and this is my last option. i really need this to further my education, i'm at a 3.8 gpa and i don't want to drop out.. this is really important to me. and i can't exactly pay too much money for an online school, so if there's one that isn't thousands or even hundreds of dollars in intuition, please say so. and if you could post a link to the website that'd be great. thanks so much!

• Answer:

  The "free" online schools are online public schools. No you can't enroll in one from another state, because you do not live in another state (the exception is that some, such as Florida virtual school, do allow out of state students if they pay several thousand dollars). The only online public schools in Montana that I can find are:http://montanadigitalacademy.org/ and http://www.k12.com/mtva/ However, since you were expelled from a Montana public school it is very likely that they will not allow you. You really need to check with your department of education to find out what your school options are.
