Wikipedia defines a virtual school as

an institution that teaches courses entirely or primarily through online methods.

We impose the further restriction that the courses are similar (in purpose and outcome) to those normally taken by school-age children - but there may be a few students in the virtual school who are beyond school leaving age.


List of virtual schools

There is a useful but very incomplete list of virtual schools at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_schools

See also Category:Virtual schools.


Taxonomy of virtual schools

See the project bid (PDF) for some thoughts. This is likely to be a challenging problem and the material at Virtual campus not very useful.
