Monte Vista On-Line Academy is a free, public, online school serving enrolled students in grades 6 -12 anywhere in the state of Colorado. We are fully accredited by the Monte Vista School District through the Colorado Department of Education and certified by CDE as a public multi-district online school. We have a highly qualified, award-wining staff of certified teachers delivering standards based courses using the Internet as the primary delivery system. We are an "asynchronous" school meaning students are not required to be online at specific times, but rather are provided assignments to complete each week at times that work best for the students and their families.  The only exceptions to this are periodic check-ins from teachers and our counselor, and Google Meets that occur about once per month in two of our high school social studies courses. 

The On-Line Academy began in 1997, and has been consistently meeting the educational needs of students whose particular situations preclude the traditional brick and mortar school setting. Students enroll in a robust and challenging instructional program, which accommodates individual student needs while providing a quality education. A significant proportion of students completing their high school educational program through Monte Visa On-Line Academy continue their formal education through college attendance, and OLA transcripts are no different than other Colorado school transcripts for college admissions purposes.
