Whitmore School is the world's first online high school and we've continued to innovate. Experience a different education with the flexibility you need to realize your potential.
2019 Graduate Avery R. was very busy with her passion in visual arts. Whitmore School was a perfect fit for her life because she could juggle her interests outside of school, with her drive to graduate. Our self-paced program meant that Avery could accelerate her academics and graduate early! (We call these students our flyers.) Congratulations to Avery!
“I live in Uruguay with my mom. There is a terrible problem with stray dogs in this country. My mom and I run a pet shelter, Responsible Rescue of Uruguay, where we find homes for the puppies. When I am not cleaning pens or playing with the puppies, I am doing my school work. Whitmore is great because I can do school anytime of day.”
“I live in South Carolina and commute to Charlotte NC every morning where I spend all day in ballet warm-ups, technique classes, and rehearsals. After a long day, I still manage to find time in the evening to work on school work.
“When I was 13, I was asked to star in a docu-reality series called ‘Road to Nashville’ which follows five musicians as we follow our dreams of becoming professional musicians. In 2016, I decided to enroll in Whitmore School so that I could focus on writing and recording in Nashville and Los Angeles. I have been able to keep my grades up and I will even graduate early.”

Virtual schools are taking on several new formats as a result of school closures due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Micro-Schools are brick and mortar learning centers where small groups of students can “go to school” in a safe learning environment with adult supervision. Membership fees start at $250 month and tutoring fees start at $80 hour. Homeschool Pods are forming in neighborhoods all over the country.
