over the Internet, with the teacher and student separated geographically, using a web-based educational delivery system that includes software to provide a structured learning environment. It may be synchronous or asynchronous. It may be accessed from multiple settings, in or out of school.

Existing Programs Versus Peterson:
Peterson can offer supplemental classes via K-12, Pamoja (IB), etc.
Blended classes may be possible if no legal restrictions exist
To have our own brand, quality, etc., and MAKE MONEY, we must develop our own online program, such as ASB Online Academy or Online School for Girls

We must use an LMS platform to deliver content via the Internet.
