Online Schools: New York

New York, a state brimming with ambition and amalgamation, ranks among history's greatest trade and cultural centers. Home to Wall Street and the United Nations, New York's population hails from every country around the globe, drawing influential businessmen and women as well as a number of artists, writers, and musicians whose collective creativity once formed the highly influential Harlem Renaissance of the modern era. New York City, briefly established as the nation's capital, played a significant role in the American Revolution and later served as the location for President George Washington's swearing-in ceremony and celebration.

Postsecondary online schools in New York continue to benefit a wide variety of college students and professionals. Recently ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top undergraduate online schools, Pace University established its online presence in 2004. Currently, the college offers over 80 percent of its course content online. Pace's recently established iPace program, which offers online bachelor’s degrees in Business and Professional Technology Studies, was specifically designed for students who are working full-time and can only devote approximately 10-15 hours towards academics per week. The State University of New York (SUNY) Learning Network offers an extensive number of online bachelor’s, master’s, associate’s, and certificates in fields such as Business, Nursing, Education, Public Policy, Teaching, and Veterinary Studies. Though relatively modest in comparison to SUNY, the City University of New York (CUNY's) School of Professional Studies now offers bachelor's degrees in Business, Communication and Culture, Health Information Management, Psychology, and Sociology. Undergraduate and graduate students may choose from a limited number of online degrees at New York University (NYU), which is currently expanding its online schools.

In contrast to a flourishing postsecondary online presence, there are a very limited number of K-12 New York online schools. The Center for Education Reform reports that New York has a strong charter school system; as of 2010,over 47,000 students were enrolled in the state’s 186 public charter schools; however, online charter schools are blocked as a result of charter school caps. According to Keeping Pace with K-12 Online Learning, there are online options provided through individual districts as well as through the Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), though these are small in number and limited by cuts in funding.

The New York City Department of Education has recently embarked on two online pilot programs. iLearnNYC, which piloted in 2010, offers Advanced Placement courses, credit recovery courses, and a blended learning program. During the pilot, 442 students from 38 middle and high schools participated in online courses through the Virtual High School Consortium. New York's second pilot, known as the Innovation Zone or iZone, includes online Advanced Placement courses at 30 high schools, as well as personalized after-school computer drills in math and English for elementary students. This initiative began with 81 schools across all five boroughs of New York City. Over two years, that number more than doubled to reach 250 schools. By 2014, it is expected that the iZone community will exceed 400 schools. If success is demonstrated from these pilot online schools, New York will consider implementing and establishing a greater online presence at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.
