This may look like your typical family home, but in Rebecca Bohman's case she has completely transformed the upstairs of her house to a fully equipped classroom for her four children.

"I'm really excited about it because virtual education offers limitless options for kids," says parent Rebecca Bohman.

Bohman says Bonneville School District 93's Virtual Academy issued free laptops, books, and learning materials for each of her children and says the program has many perks.

"It's customized for each individual child so they can kind of learn at their own pace," she said.  "If they don't understand something, they can go back and review it. They can spend more time on something that peaks their interest, less time on something they can quickly move though."

District 93 representative Guy Bliesner says online learning offers the same, if not better, education than traditional classrooms.

"You get the best of both worlds," says Bliesner.  "It opens up some flexibility in a way that teachers brick and mortar generally has a hard time doing."
