Online School Options

We are USA citizens presently living in India. Our oldest child is 3 years old now. We are looking at school options and trying to figure out what is available to fit our needs.

Is there any possibility of us enrolling our daughter in a USA based online school ? It appears that a lot of the online schools are free for those currently residing in USA, but what about people that are living abroad? Found some online sites that are available for people living abroad but they are way too costly!!!

Key points:

We see a lot of travel in the future so are thinking an online school would give us the freedom we need.

USA citizens with a permanent address of Pennsylvania, USA.

Living in India under PIO Visa status for the past two years.

Not sure how much longer we will remain in India but maybe 2 to 5 more years.

Thanks for your time!!

There are such for homeschooling. Alas, I am now far removed from it as boy graduated from Berkeley a few days ago. Google under home schooling, etc. for more up to date stuff. I recall an interesting group that did at that time only K-8 but now reportedly does K-12 online. Bennett was the founder & we used the hard copy materials to high school & just sent him on to college when we realized the next texts were the first year college texts. Calvert is the famous one and they may do an online element now (didn't use this)..

Forget online schools. I do not start a pedagogical debate on it.

Home school her. Get a basic course material, and/or teach her based on your own values and construction of worldview.
