Does your child attend an online high school?

Dd (going through Camhs) hates school. It’s a really good school and they couldn’t have been more supportive. No bullying and she’s bright.
But she just hates school. Can’t get up at the time required, hates the fast transitions lesson to lesson. Has friends but gets overwhelmed by group friendships.
She’s in yr 8 so we’re still persevering but I’m thinking of online if she doesn’t settle. I know up to yr 9 can be problematic.
would appreciate any experiences.

It depends on how much money you have to spend on it. I only have experience of The Online School which was ok - a bit amateur but well meaning. I think Minerva and King's Interhigh are probably much better from a teaching POV but they are also a lot more expensive. Have a look at their websites as they tend to have webinars you can watch about their school. I also looked into Wolsey Hall which is a bit different as they don't have live lessons.

I was looking at Kings Interhigh. It is expensive and we would pay for it if we knew Dd would have a positive experience and be able achieve some good GCSEs. She is capable but just doesn’t like engaging with school.

My niece is at Elea High Online school - she seems to like it. She's a bit older than your DD but I think they take them younger.
