Arizona K12 Virtual School offers a questionnaire to help you decide if you will likely be successful in this high school environment.

It addresses your preferences, school environment, work habits, and attitudes about learning, such as rating the extent to which you complete difficult tasks on your own, even if others don't provide support and encouragement.

Check the box best describing you—1. Strongly Agree, 2. Agree, 3. Strongly Disagree—for each question. Then follow the directions to score your answers. Be honest: No one will see this but you!

This review may confirm for you that others also consider you as an independent learner who manages your time well, asks for help when you need it, and you are comfortable using technology.

Karen Rutzick offers a journalistic Virtual Reality Check about some problems with virtual schools.
