After offering the first High School on the Internet, Eugene Public School District 4J, Eugene, Oregon, is now offering summer school with an international focus.
Registration has already begun. And credits earned can be recognized by other high schools (by agreement).
The cost of CyberSummerSchool courses is $300 for the whole semester. English as a Second Language courses are of course offered.
Here's the list of courses:
In short, something to keep you entertained. I dream of the time when French-speaking public schools will offer such programs in the summer as well as during the year.

Art and virtual reality: the ultimate immersion?
We've always created with whatever we could get our hands on. From drawing stones in caves to 3D creation software on our computers, we've always been able to express our artistic side with these tools. As virtual reality gradually takes hold, the art world has already begun to embrace it. Whether it's visual artists or the film industry, total immersion in a work of art no longer seems a science-fiction idea.

An electronic musical instrument for the self-taught
It seemed that most musical instruments had already been invented. And yet, a French designer has developed an electronic instrument that enables anyone to play tunes, even those with no musical notions whatsoever. A successful tour de force thanks to a mathematics-based design and an African instrument little known to Westerners.
The changing role of guidance counsellors
The vision of the guidance counselor is rather outdated. They are no longer people waiting behind their desks to advise young people on their studies. Today, the role has become highly proactive, particularly in the United States, where they ensure the success of as many students as possible. But this role, which is greatly appreciated by students, is disappearing as public education budgets shrink.
