Posted by Joe on June 24th, 2009

A group of exclusive private all-girl's secondary schools in Tennessee, Maryland, Ohio and Connecticut are joining forces to launch the Online School for Girls, the first online school focused on same-sex education.

The school will offer a variety of secondary school schools including math, science and humanities according to a report in the Nashville Business Journal. Faculty from the Harpeth Hall School, Holton-Arms School, Laurel School and Westover School will all be involved in creating and teaching the curriculum.

Classes will begin this fall and be affordably priced so that secondary school aged girls from around the world can take advantage of the opportunity. The Online School for Girls joins a growing number of online educational opportunities for high school students. It is estimated that more than 1 million secondary students took an online course during the 2007-2008 school year.

This explosion of online secondary school options will undoubtedly continue to feed the growth of online universities in the United States and around the world.
