Enrollment Application Process
Thank you for your interest in applying with the Monte Vista On-Line Academy (OLA). Our application is open for families interested in joining us for the 2020-2021 school year. In regards to the recent events surrounding COVID-19 we are requesting that only those interested in applying for the 2020-2021 school year fill out this application. We are not accepting applications for the current school year.
Step 1: Confirm eligibility. To apply for full-time admission to the On-Line Academy, applicants must:
Step 2 - Complete and submit OLA's online application:
- Be a Colorado resident.
- Be at least 8 years of age and be entering fourth grade and not yet 21 years of age as of October 1 of enrollment year.

Step 3 - Upon acceptance with Monte Vista On-Line Academy, you will be notified via email or phone call and an enrollment packet will be sent. Please complete the packet and return to OLA by the due date noted on the paperwork.
Step 4 - Participate in an information session that will be provided by the school's Director (or a designee of the Director). You will be emailed instructions regarding how participate in an info session that will take about 15 minutes and will require a computer with an internet connection.

Step 5 - For High School Students, Send Transcripts. Please send us copies of your transcript (unofficial is fine, emailed scanned copies or paper copies are fine). We will request official records from the prior school for all enrolled students, but those can take time to arrive. We can use unofficial transcript records for scheduling and creating an academic plan to reach graduation requirements.
Note - If the student has a documented Education Plan (IEP, ALP) or 504 Plan from your most recent school, please send us a copy. Colorado rules require a preliminary staffing to determine appropriateness/legality of placement before students with an IEP can be enrolled in an online program. We work with many students with an IEP, but some students we are not allowed to service (more specific information can be provided by Director or Special Education Teacher).
Step 6. Residency Verification Form Receipt. During August, OLA must receive a current residency verification affidavit, dated after July 1, to finalize enrollment (first day of classes is approximately mid-August). *Please note that any student missing necessary documentation will not be allowed to access classes or be officially enrolled until all necessary documents are received by OLA.
The week before school begins, OLA will mail out a parent-student handbook with information regarding online schooling, information specific to OLA's program (logging in, report cards, etc.). The first week of school is an orientation week in which teachers will be reaching out to students, individually, making sure students feel confident about getting started in their classes.
Thank you! -Mrs. Johnson
