Clubs & Activities
Clubs and activities give your child fun, meaningful ways to explore interests, build skills, and connect with classmates. Each one is designed to spark curiosity and help students feel part of our vibrant school community. Check out the wide variety of clubs and workshops available at Ohio Virtual Academy—and see how your child can get involved.
Types of Clubs
Student-Initiated Clubs
These clubs begin with students—their ideas, passions, and creativity. Kids take the lead in shaping the club experience, while a staff member is there to provide supervision and ensure a safe, positive environment.
Academic Enrichment Clubs
These staff-led clubs complement what students are learning in class, offering engaging, hands-on activities that spark curiosity and growth. They let students dig deeper into subjects they enjoy—whether it’s math, art, science, or other areas of interest.
Workshops and Activities
Students can take part in fun, topic-focused sessions that inspire creativity, curiosity, and new discoveries—led by teachers and guest facilitators.
Interested in starting a student-initiated club?
Federal law (the Equal Access Act) ensures that all student-led, non-curricular clubs have an equal opportunity to meet, whether in person or online, giving students the freedom to create and lead clubs based on their interests while receiving support and oversight from staff.
If your child has an idea for a new club, we’d love to help them bring it to life! Just complete this form to submit the request. The school team will review it and follow up with next steps.
At OHVA, Online Clubs are a place of belonging. Our Online Clubs provide a way for students to pursue their interests, foster friendships and grow in their social skills. All have a staff member present for club sessions to facilitate positive connections.
- The school’s code of conduct from the handbook must be agreed upon and followed. Clubs provide a great opportunity to reinforce our school-wide expectations We A.R.E. OHVA (Accountable, Respectful and Engaged.)
- Learning Coaches are responsible to sign up the student. We follow up with a notification email to the Learning Coach to confirm the student’s registration in a club.
- Students may participate in up to 3 different clubs, but some clubs are open even after three have been chosen. (Belonging Book Club, Character Strong, Cardy Club, Students Against Destructive Decisions SADD, and Gender Sexuality Alliance GSA.)
