Best Online Schools Press develops eight new websites to showcase online schools

Sept. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- Best Online Schools Press, an imprint of Degree Press, recently announced the development of eight additional websites to join their flagship website, BestOnlineHighSchools.com. The last of these new websites came online in August 2011. The increased number of websites provides readers with the ability to search easily for a particular kind of online school.

BestOnlineHighSchools.com has long been the largest website devoted solely to online high schools. Started in 2007, it initially had little competition in the niche. While this has begun to change, it has spurred the Best Online Schools Press team to make the decision to expand its offerings.

The new websites are:

Best Online Private Schools showcases online schools with a rich history of providing courses to homeschoolers and others interested in learning online. This website includes a number of private schools that were originally more correspondence in nature prior to the invention of the World Wide Web.

Best Online Public Schools shows the fastest-growing type of online school. As public school districts discover the benefits of offering online learning in addition to traditional learning, this number continues to grow.

Best Online Elementary Schools is primarily for families looking to begin the online school journey. There are already a significant number of these schools and that number appears to be growing exponentially.

Best Online Middle Schools is very much a niche within a niche. Primarily this website is a connection between their elementary website and the high school one. The number of purely online middle schools is small, but the number of K-8 or 7-12 schools is certainly noticeable.

Best Free Online Schools is fast becoming a popular website in its own right because of the high interest with families in seeking out free online high schools. It is this type of school that is opening up online learning for large numbers of students.

Best Online Charter Schools provides a forum for this sub-set of public schools. Because the focus of charter schools is innovation and educational reform, it makes taking these schools online a good fit.

Best Online Christian Schools provides homeschoolers and others with the ability to target their search in such a way as to focus only on Christian schools. While the number of accredited options is currently small, it is expected that this is a growth area.

Best Online School Jobs was developed in response to the numerous questions from readers as how to get a job teaching at an online school as well as which schools might be hiring.

A close examination of the websites reveals an overlapping of information. For example, an online school would be both on BestOnlineCharterSchools.com and BestOnlinePublicSchools.com. Note that all charter schools are public schools, but all public schools are not charter schools.
