What OAO Offers in Your State
Welcome to Optima Academy Online’s national course catalog page, where we have ‘hacked’ time and space—harnessing the power of virtual reality to deliver educational enrichment opportunities anywhere! Students can explore virtual classrooms, museums, and historical landmarks, bringing lessons to life in a way that textbooks simply can’t.
West Virginia Hope Scholarship Partnership
OAO is excited to partner with West Virginia’s ESA program, West Virginia Hope Scholarship, to bring affordable education solutions to your family. Scholarship funding can be applied to both field trips and courses. Want to learn more about the process? Contact our admissions team at oao-admissions@optimaed.com.

Virtual Reality Field Trips
We offer a twelve-month and twenty-four month subscription to our VR Field Trips. During these months, you can spend as much time in our uniquely created Metaverse environments as you like. Each environment has its own theme, learning experiences and adventures. Plus, each adventure in our explorations is a single user experience, aside from our in-system learning guides, offering you top safety as you journey through.
Virtual Reality Courses
Whether adding to your home learner program, supplementing your school schedule, looking for an online school alternative, or wanting to experience virtual reality in a safe, fun environment, Optima Academy Online has courses for you.
On Demand [Student Paced]: Our On-Demand learning style allows students to 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 course completion experience.
Live [Teacher-Led]: Our Live instruction format is the most collaborative delivery style we offer. Students have direct interaction with their teacher and fellow students. Students participating in our Live instruction format will meet with their teacher and classmates during regularly scheduled instruction time and complete assignments and instruction in a community environment.
