Switching to Online Islamic School

Many parents seek an alternative to in-person learning, whether due to health issues or other factors like bullying, drugs, guns, or curriculum. So if Pre K-12 Online Islamic schools are among your top choices for the 2023-2024 school year, you've come to the right place!

 

Perhaps you're considering switching to online Islamic learning but aren't sure how? What is the procedure for online Islamic education? Maybe you're wondering if your state allows you to attend full-time online classes.

 

While the COVID-19 outbreak sparked a surge in the popularity of online learning, families have been using online learning programs for years. Internet access has revolutionized our lifestyles, and it is also revolutionizing education. In addition, online learning programs allow students to work from home (or anywhere with the internet). Many families will benefit from this flexibility.

 

How Does Online School Work? 

 In 2019, about 375,000 K-12 students in the United States attended an online school full-time. While the figures for 2021 aren't yet available, many more students are pursuing their education online. Students who attend an online school work from home and follow a national curriculum submit homework via an online portal. Furthermore, students receive feedback and marks from qualified teachers with whom they can connect via email. 

 

While parents are not expected to be teachers, most online school programs need parents to participate in their children's education. Parents serve as learning coaches, assisting their children in staying on track.

 

How can I switch to Online School? 

 

If you're just getting started with online learning, here are some suggestions: 

1. Review state guidelines: To begin, choose your state in the list below and review its online school guidelines. 

2. Connect: Contact the online school that interests you. Some may accept applications anytime, while others may have enrollment deadlines. 

3. Send a withdrawal letter to your school district (if applicable): If you're presently enrolled in a public or private school, you'll almost certainly need to send a withdrawal letter to your school district if you're going to a full-time online school. Keep a copy of the letter in case there are any questions later. It would be best also to take advantage of this opportunity to request your child's school transcripts. 

4. Enroll and get started: Now is the time to enroll in your preferred online school. 

 

Learning Schedule:

 

Decide on your new learning schedule in collaboration with your child. 

1. What time will your child start school in the morning? 

2. How often will you incorporate fitness and outdoor activities into your week? 

 

Learning curve:

 

There will be a learning curve when you switch to an online school. If you and your child decide to pursue online school, even if only for a short time, keep in mind that there will be a learning curve. But don't be discouraged by this! "All you have to do is be open-minded," said Bryan Klochack, a Michigan-based online school principal.

 

While online school is not suitable for every student or family, it can be a game-changer for many!
