Is Global SchoolONE a homeschool co-op or an educational institution?
Answer: "Yes!"
We are in fact both! Our Family Enterprise learning stack is one in which parents teach their children and other parents' children, so it is a homeschool co-op. AND, these parents are qualified teachers, so that when they teach other parents' children, it is remote learning from an institutional school. This innovative structure has led to some problems with regulators understanding how to classify us, but we are working this out.
Further our programs like the DigiTools Diploma learning stack are clearly institutional education, although most of it classified as "correspondence" education.
Why is Global SchoolONE not found in the PSS Private School Locator?
Answer: Because regulators had difficulty in categorizing us, due to our innovative nature.
While Global SchoolONE has NCES ID A2300227, we currently are not publicly listed in the PSS Private School Locator because when we filled out the federal Private School Universe Survey (PSS), the nature of our school was not properly classified as being "in-scope". This is due to the fact that a question on the PSS asks "Is a major role of this school or program to support homeschooling?" And due to our answer of "Yes" and some other answers, we got classified as only a homeschool co-op, when in fact we are both a homeschool co-op and institutional school.
