I recently offered some advice to a parent about an online high school for his two tennis-playing daughters. Amber Walker of Laurel Springs School happened to read my comment (because online high schools do read my blog) and offered the following:
I was just at a Jr. Nationals tennis event this past week, and met many of our Laurel Springs students. As far as the person who was inquiring about distance learning for her tennis players, I went to Easter Bowl this year and out of 400 players, 55 were laurel springs students. We have a total of about 300 tennis players in our school, and then come the ice skaters, gymnasts, dancers, motocross, snow boarders, surfers, and so on.
Talk about creating a niche for yourself! Certainly there are child prodigies attending other online high schools, but my guess is that Laurel Springs School has the most.
