The options are endless. There are MANY schools like this online.
A person does NOT need to spend a lot of money for these schools, if they are WISE about saving up enough money for the following year.
Furthermore, the "online" school can help your student stay on task and stay motivated.
Is it possible to use an online public school, even if you hold Christian values? YES. So long as the values they present are not extremely damaging to the "Christian worldview." If the online public school presents basic information, like how to read a book, write a few stories and basic math, then the online public school is doing what it is supposed to do. However, if the online public school teaches specific things that are SPECIFICALLY against Christian values (lie, cheat, steal, mock someone, berate someone, practice sexual impurity etc etc.) then the online public school is not valuable for the child in need of an education.
Be sure if a person uses a public online school to PURPOSEFULLY schedule in bible-study, hymn study or other faith based time.
This is NOT the fault of the bible-believers, if the public schools are not functioning as they should. The Christian only needs about a "5th grade" or 10 year old's level of education to fully grasp the meaning and purpose of the bible. Some can even comprehend it, at a 2nd grade level of education.
Other wise there are plenty of online PRIVATE SCHOOLS available, to help motivate children to learn.
Here is an example:

It WOULD be wonderful to know that the children automatically WANT to pick up ACTUAL books and write an ENTIRE PUBLISHABLE book on their own strength and skill, but in reality it isn't possible WITHOUT good teachers, lessons and practice.
After about the 8th grade level (McGuffey Reader and Ray's arithmetic level), the student can EASILY learn to fix, build, construct projects that will TRULY be useful in his or her lifetime. Don't forget to ensure that a student has the opportunity to know and practice scripture.
