Cutting-Edge Curriculum

A cutting-edge, highly adaptable curriculum forms the foundation of our online school for Oregon students. All courses adhere to state academic standards, and our in-house assessments help align instruction with current student demands. Instructors carefully curate purchased materials and Open Educational Resources (OERs) to meet the diverse needs of our students, including those with 504 plans and Individual Education Programs (IEPs).

All educational resources are fully integrated within Canvas, where students enjoy easy online access from any location with a reliable internet connection. Our advanced learning platform, the same technology used by schools, colleges, and universities across the country, makes it easy to interact with teachers and classmates, submit assignments, and more. To ensure equitable access, a Chromebook is provided for every child in attendance at the time of enrollment.

Best Charter School in Best of the Mid-Valley

Oregon Charter Academy has won in the Best Charter School category of the Best of the Mid-Valley awards for four years running.

 “I can confidently say that I have the independence and motivation to take on college because of the resources that ORCA has provided.”
