Virtual Reality Courses

Whether you’re adding to your home learning program, supplementing your school schedule, or seeking an innovative online school alternative, OAO has courses for every learner. Our program is fully online for all grades, with immersive virtual reality learning available for students in 4th grade and above. Younger learners (K–3) enjoy interactive, age-appropriate online courses designed to build strong academic foundations while keeping learning engaging, safe, and fun.

On Demand (Student Paced):

Students complete course instruction on their own time, schedule, and learning pace. Courses are mapped out with clear progression instructions to support students with a trouble-free completion experience.

Live (Teacher-Led)

Our most collaborative option. Students have direct interaction with their teacher and classmates through regularly scheduled instruction times, completing assignments and instruction in a community environment.
