Any recommendations for a high quality non religious online high school program? Not looking to administer home schooling. Need a virtual school.

Stanford University has one.

Yes, location would be helpful. Do you want a US curriculum? Or some other country's curriculum? Does the student have any special needs? Why are you looking for this, will student be traveling?

A lot of US states offer free online public schooling. the quality varies.

I can't say how much this will help, but more and more public high schools offer coursework online. A student registers as they would if they were physically attending the school and then take all their classes online. If this is for a high school student, you can check your local district.

You might check out Connections Academy. I've heard good things from a friend about it.
