Online courses are popular with students who want to make up credits, take classes that aren’t available at their schools or take a break from regular classes. But more students are forgoing mainstream schools altogether as charters and school districts establish online options. The virtual offerings also appeal to traditional home-school families who increasingly rely on online courses.
