Buckeye On-Line School for Success
In progress as of Sept 6
The Buckeye On-Line School for Success (BOSS) is located in the US state of Ohio. BOSS is an online, public, K-12 charter school open to all Ohio students, focusing on those who would benefit from an untraditional education (homeschoolers, athletes, young parents). BOSS students are provided with textbooks, material, and supplies; a computer and printer; and an internet connection. BOSS is developing two forms of curriculum delivery for self-paced students, one independent (BOSS Independent), one which is more media-rich and instructor-facilitated (BOSS Virtual). In the latter BOSS runs real-time classes with live instructor .
