The Statewide Online Education Program (SOEP) allows students not regularly enrolled in an online school to earn 9-12th grade graduation credit in a rich instructional environment otherwise almost exclusively available to students choosing to enroll full-time in an online school. All online course providers are public schools accredited for 9-12th grade education, which allows direct acceptance of credit. 
With 24 credits required for high school graduation, SOEP allows students online access of up to 6 credits, per each school year, while schools typically allow students to engage in up to 8 yearly credits overall. Regardless of the level of online credits that the student chooses to engage in, however, the student maintains regular enrollment at their boundary school, home or private school, or other school of choice, and essential services such as graduation and access to a counselor are uniquely available at this school, as are co-curricular activities such as choir and band, extracurricular activities, and sports participation. A student does not need to physically attend courses at their primary school of enrollment to participate in SOEP courses, nevertheless it is most likely that a student will want to take advantage of the academic and other offerings of their primary school of enrollment regardless of participation in SOEP courses. SOEP providers enroll students only course-wise, and students are not eligible for additional services from the provider, including sports, extra or co-curricular participation, or graduation services. What the student can access is online coursework otherwise available only to students regularly enrolled in these online schools, supplementing coursework that their primary school of enrollment is offers them directly. SOEP participation thus allows a student to experience the best of both worlds by allowing the student to choose the extent to which they wish to participate in each school.
