On-line accredited high school sought for extra class or two

My child would like to take some extra classes over the summer from an on-line high school. I am having the hardest time getting a list of what online high schools there are that would offer some classes over the summer. We are open to private, public, or charter, but want to be assured that they are accredited and would allow her to take one or two classes to supplement her education, not be her sole high school -- simply just offer classes that she can take to add to her regular high school curriculum. Can someone who has actually done this with their teen help / offer advice on where to search, links, websites, or even good informational articles?

Hi, I believe that Cyberhigh is accredited, our district uses it for some kids. My son took ASL on line through International Connections Academy which is also accredited.

I highly recommend Legend College Preparatory in Cupertino; tel (408) 865-0366.  Legend offers College Board approved AP classes and those classes also meet the a-g requirements of the University of California.  They have year-long, spring break and summer classes.  My son scored 5 in his AP exam because of Legend!

My daughter took an advanced math class last year (11th grade) through Stanford Online High School:  https://ohs.stanford.edu/.

Another option would be to take a community college class online. I have had high school students in my summer online Humans and the Environment class before.
