Welcome From Dr. Kim Abel
Welcome to Optima Academy Online! We are thrilled to have you in our vibrant, dynamic, and innovative learning community. Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, we extend our warmest greetings to each student and family.
At Optima Academy Online (OAO), we believe in fostering a learning environment that is both challenging and supportive, encouraging every student to reach their full potential. Our dedicated team of educators is committed to delivering an engaging educational experience that meets the diverse needs of our students, using virtual reality as a fundamental learning tool.
OAO provides an excellent classically aligned approach to education that equips students with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing world. We strive to cultivate a love of learning, critical thinking, and creativity through the use of great books, Socratic discussions, and mathematical conversations. Central to our educational philosophy are the virtues of courage, courtesy, honesty, perseverance, self-government, service, and responsibility. These virtues are essential in shaping successful students and compassionate and responsible global citizens.
Please take some time to explore our website. Watch the videos and read the testimonials from parents and students to get a deeper understanding of what makes OAO unique. Our use of virtual reality has significantly broadened the teaching horizon, allowing us to implement new and innovative instructional methods that engage students in ways traditional methods cannot. We are excited to share these resources with you and demonstrate how we are redefining education at Optima Academy Online.
