Why Families Choose Ohio Virtual Academy

Everyone’s experience is personal at OHVA. Check out what our students and families have to say about theirs!
I’ve been able to do so many things that you might think wouldn’t be possible in online school. I’ve had debate club, trivia club, an esports team, and so many others. Sure, that starts behind a computer screen, but it’s a world that’s opened through it.

Jerome

2025 graduate*

We have prom and homecoming. The dances
are so fun. You feel safe there, and
everybody’s very welcoming. They put a lot
of work into it. Student council runs it, so
they get to decide all the dance themes and
ideas, and I got to [provide] some input, so
that was fun!

Maleah

2025 11th grade student*

The community with OHVA is excellent. All the activities, the field trips, the online engagement, even though they don’t have peer-to-peer interactions daily in person, they build friends. Some kids were even right down the street from us!
