Enrollment Application Process
Thank you for your interest in Monte Vista On-Line Academy (MVOLA or OLA).
Enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year is now open.
MVOLA strives to keep student to teacher ratio around 20 to 1 to ensure we are better able to meet student needs.
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 2 - Complete and submit OLA's online application:
Step 3 - Upon acceptance with Monte Vista On-Line Academy, you will be notified via email or phone call and instructions will be sent to begin the online registration process.
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 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/schedule to reach graduation requirements.
Note - If the student has a documented Education Plan (IEP, ALP, ILP 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 a documented Education Plan can be enrolled in an online program. MVOLA works with many students on individualized plans, but some student's needs require services than an online environment may not be able to provide (more specific information can be provided by Director or Special Education Teacher). Academic Education Plans will be reviewed yearly to determine if MVOLA is still able to meet the needs of students or if a more appropriate educational setting is required.
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 email 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 August 16-20, 2021. Teachers will be reaching out to new students, individually, on Monday and Tuesday, making sure students feel confident about getting started in their classes. Full time, regular class schedule will start on Wednesday.
Thank you! -Mrs. Johnson
