HOW IT WORKS

Elementary School

  

Tuition-Free

Because OHVA is part of the public school system, it's tuition-free. Enrolled families receive the Stride K12 curriculum, as well as a loaner computer, printer, and internet stipend.

Who can attend?

The Ohio Virtual Academy (OHVA) elementary program serves students in grades K–5 who reside in the state of Ohio. 

What's my role as a parent?

Parents serve as their child's Learning Coach. As a Learning Coach, you will

  • Communicate progress with your child's teacher

  • Monitor mastery of lessons and assessments

  • Review your child's work

  • Record attendance

What will my child study?

Coursework is a mix of online and hands-on work, which caters to a wide variety of learning styles. Unit and course assessments are built in to each subject, and easy-to-use online planning and progress tools keep you and your student on track.

K–5th graders take courses in the core subjects listed below. Beginning in grade 3, they also take a self-guided elective course in music or a world language.

Mastering Lessons

In the elementary grades, students are required to show mastery of each lesson by achieving 80 percent or better on all lesson assessments. If your child is having difficulty mastering a lesson, let their homeroom teacher know as soon as possible. Teachers offer many support sessions to help students gain mastery.

Working with Your Teacher

Students work with their teachers and other classmates during "Class Connect" sessions. In "Class Connect" sessions, students

  • Receive live instruction from teachers
  • Interact with classmates
  • Ask questions and receive real-time support

Students can interact with their teachers and classmates by

  • Speaking over their microphone
  • Typing and drawing with online whiteboard features
  • Joining small group breakouts to work on projects or receive targeted instruction

Time Commitment

K–5 students are expected to spend between 4–7 hours on schoolwork per school day, including both online and offline work.

Grades TK–2

  • 4–5 hours daily
  • 30-40% online

Grades 3–5

  • 5–7 hours daily
  • 50-60% online

State Testing

Thank you to all our families for your commitment to getting your child to mandatory state testing!

Spring state testing is scheduled to take place in March and April for 3rd to 5th grade elementary students.  View the Family Testing Calendar for grades 3-8.  Contact your advocate or classroom teacher for more information about testing. You can also refer to OHVA Testing FAQ's and Information [PDF] which includes test site locations.
