How do private internet-based programs work?
Private, fee-based programs offered on the Internet can be found through an Internet search. Programs are located in California and in many other parts of the country. These programs operate with little oversight. Students enroll online. Some programs offer face-to-face meetings with teachers; others are purely virtual and operate almost completely online. Transferability of course credits between private online schools and California public schools and colleges varies widely. Some programs qualify for accreditation by the regional accrediting agency. The regional accrediting agency for California is the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
