Indeed.
Here’s a free online K-12 school that operates in every state with a couple live lessons per week by full certified credentialed teachers, rigorous curriculum with minimal “woke” subject matter and in general no BS.

All you need is a high speed internet connection. If you’re low income, a laptop is provided to be returned after school ends.
And it’s not easy, it’s rigorous. Students are by law allowed to participate in varsity sports at nearby public schools. There is a social media web page for parents and loads of extracurricular activities including field trips.
Parents say it is excellent. Parents can form cooperatives too, they are called learning coaches. You can still work at a job while another learning coach fills in, you work it out with other learning coaches which days you can cover.
Everything, assignments, homework, daily lessons are all scheduled in advance. You have flexibility to schedule, for example set Tuesday for all Math lessons and assignments scheduled for the week, etc. There is a teacher for each subject with available online classes and office hours.
Alert: your student will be busy, very busy and can easily fall behind. You’ll have a parent account where you see everything your student is doing and needs to do. If your student falls behind, for example, is down sick for a few days, you can run the scheduler to spread overdue coursework in weeks ahead.
Connections Academy has been doing this well before the pandemic, they got it down, they do it right.
My rising senior has been doing Connections Academy since middle school. She’s a dancer at a ballet conservatory in a professional training program. A lot of students are like her who are involved in a competitive sport or who dance or play an instrument and it would be impossible to do while attending a brick and mortar school. My daughter became a straight A student, confident and very adept at time management. This is a very good school for kids who are independent learners and like to work at their own pace and own schedule. Live lessons are recorded so can be watched any time if the student is not available during the actual live lesson time. There is a wide variety of courses to select from for electives in the course catalog. Great school!
