U of Mimai is offering distance learning to Middle and High School

The University of Miami has started to offer distance learning to Middle and High schoolers. To look into this program go to their website.  They offer everything from AP courses to Language Arts, PE, Foreign Languages, Social Studies, Electives, etc. Their listing is extensive.

Directly from their site:


"The University of Miami Global Academy's course offerings offer our students the most current education using the most current technology. Our courses provide a highly-interactive education using video, audio, simulations, games and real-world activities. Here, Web 2.0 meets Learning 2.0 and students are engaged in learning well beyond simply reading course information.

Since the Global Academy is from the University of Miami, you can be certain that there are strong academic standards behind every class. As you can see from the list on the left, there is a wide variety of courses, including honors and advanced placement (AP) courses, all of which are offered by the semester. With our offerings, it's certain that any student can find the right combination of challenges and interests to make their UMGA high school experience a compelling adventure in learning.

We're online. But with a University of Miami Global Academy education, the human element is always present. In fact, we have a word for it: telepresence. That means that when a student needs a teacher, the teacher is there, ready to work one on one through video conferencing or phone discussions. Our faculty are top educators and, through a strong telepresence, students find that UMGA is both personal and flexible.

Welcome to the Global Academy's source for courses. This is your launch pad to explore a high school education that's right for you.

Because your life is larger than a classroom."

International Student base:

 "UMGA students hail from over 20 countries outside the United States including Argentina, Australia, Bermuda, Bahamas, Canada, Colombia, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Monaco, Panama, Poland, Qatar, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, and Venezuela."

Looks pretty good to me. Check them out if you are interested.
