The "Online Learning Academy" in the Washington Elementary School District is an excellent 5th-8th grade school, through and through. From the top levels of school management to the teaching level in the classroom, we hold ourselves and our students to the highest standards. Students in our school have access to all of the services in person students do, including field trips, sports, clubs, and in person fun activities throughout the year. In addition, we provide all of the same support services that other schools do, for students with particular needs. In short, we provide everything students need online, if that is the best choice for your family right now. We look forward to having you join our outstanding program soon! :)

Online Learning Academy offers several academic opportunities for students, including Art, Music, and PE. Recently, students, parents, and staff took a field trip to the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, and it was an amazing experience for all involved! Academic expectations are equal to in-person schools, but with a calming and focused environment.

The Online Learning Academy is the perfect place for a student who needs a virtual learning environment. Live instruction all day means that students are with a grade level teacher with direct instruction for the whole day! Students follow the same curriculum that they would in-person in the district through different online systems. All students can succeed online here!
