Online schools I can do anywhere in the world?

Is there a useful way to determine the best secondary schools, high schools, and boarding schools in the world?

• Here is one nominee . I have listed a few others in previous blog posts, but my range of vision is limited. http://onlyconnectparke.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-best-high-schools-in-world.html

• Answer:

  Teaching methodology Teaching curriculum Experiences SAT Scores College acceptance rates (this is challenging, given that higher end schools may challenge their students to look beyond their local state school for options--which means acceptance rates may not yield the best data without factoring in exterior factors) Scholarship money Examples of graduates (limited, but helpful) Student & Parent Satisfaction surveys (at time of graduation and 5 and 10 years later) Available mainstream and elective courses (this speaks to robustness of curriculum.  Availability of AP & IB classes is in some ways a better score.  Even better may be % based concerns about people taking 1 through 10+ courses during the course of their studies) National merit scholars (percentage in student body) Other awards Some way to evaluate peers as peers are critical to the learning process (although in all likelihood some of this will likely trace back to affluence to some extent) One way also might be adding whatever ranking methodology US News and World Report uses for their high school ranking. http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/articles/2014/04/21/how-us-news-calculated-the-2014-best-high-schools-rankings
