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.
