Online courses suit students of all ages - Andrea J. Cook, Rapid City Journal

Face-to-face meetings are rare between teachers and students enrolled in the Rapid City Academy Online, but the lack of a personal touch hasn't slowed enthusiasm for the Rapid City School District's virtual high school.In its second trimester, the online high school has 81 students, more than double the first trimester's enrollment.The growth is consistent with the national trend in online educational programs, which are growing by about 40 percent per year, according to Deb Steele, principal of the Rapid City Academy.
