An online learning school is a type of educational institution that delivers instruction and curriculum entirely online. This can include both synchronous and asynchronous instruction, meaning that students can participate in live, online classes in real-time, as well as access pre-recorded lessons and activities on their own schedule. Online schools can range from fully online, independent schools to virtual programs offered by traditional brick-and-mortar schools.

Online learning schools may offer different types of programs and services, and the best one for a student can depend on their individual needs, learning style, and goals. It's important for parents and students to research different online learning options and to consider factors such as accreditation, curriculum, and student support services before enrolling.

Lack of social interaction and face-to-face communication.
Lack of supervision and accountability, which can be a concern for some parents.
Dependence on technology and the internet
Limited access to educational resources like lab equipment and art supplies.
