I am sometimes asked why a school should advertise on the Best Online High Schools website. It’s a fair question and I thought I would give a reasonable answerable. Thanks to the many folks who read this website, we now get a significant amount of traffic.

Take, for example, our newest school, University of Miami Global Academy. It has just been listed on our site this past week. Do a Google search for: “University of Miami Global Academy.” You will discover that three of the first ten hits are related to this site. The BOHS site is the sixth and seventh ones and our blog feed that goes to Amazon.com is the tenth one.

After only one week, we hit the first page of Google for this school three times. Why is this important for readers to know? We claim to be the largest independent site for online high schools. This is how we back up that claim. It is absolutely about validity of the source.

The University of Miami has launched a new online high school called University of Miami Global Academy. Loyal readers know that I am a fan of online high schools attached to universities, particularly universities with the reputation of the University of Miami.

Go. Take a look.

This week’s focus school is Kaplan University High School. It is one arm of the Kaplan chain of online high schools. While newer, it does have the backing one of the strongest educational companies in the business. That is worth something.

Something to consider: Part of the growing Kaplan chain, it is the adult-only version. Something else that is important is that you only need to complete five units at KUHS. The other thirteen required units can be transferred in from other high schools.
