A Miami student, 15-year-old Katelyn Watson, is taking advantage of an alternative educational option through an online virtual public school. Katelyn is a freshman receiving her education through the Oklahoma Connections Academy which offers tuition-free virtual public schooling for students in kindergarten through 12th grade throughout the state. Because Oklahoma Connections Academy is a public school there is no tuition paid or cost for materials with the exception of special projects such as science experiments. Katelyn’s parents Frank and Helen Watson chose the less traditional schooling opportunity for both of their children, Katelyn and their son 11-year old son Paul, because of concerns they had with optimizing their children’s education through traditional schools.
