This article mainly leaves me wondering what the upside is for the Christensen Institute in running what appears to be essentially marketing copy. It certainly undermines its core message about innovation (despite what Thomas Arnett writes at the bottom of the article). We read the wildly inaccurate claim that "King's InterHigh is considered the original online school." It was founded in the UK in 2005, a full decade after many organizations had started offering high school programs online. And forming a partnership with the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) may be good business but it hardly qualifies as innovation.
