Today, millions of school-age children are learning outside of a traditional classroom and using cutting edge educational options.

You'll discover how to: (1) Find opportunities and programs to optimize your child's learning, strengths and aptitudes; (2) Create a personalized learning plan for your child, which can remove barriers, ignite their passions and propel your child to new levels of learning; (3) Prepare your child for success in the workplace in any future economy. Contents include: (1) Introduction; (2) The Education of the Future--Here Today; (3) What is Virtual Schooling and How Does It Work?; (4) Getting Started; (5) Personalized Learning: Getting to Know Your Unique Learner; (6) Virtual Schooling and the Elementary Years; (7) Virtual Schooling in the High School Years; (8) Your Virtual Education Quick Answer Guide; and (9) Comprehensive Virtual Schooling Resource Guide.
