ORLA Online K-12 Information
The ORLA Online program is a flexible option for students and families seeking more choice over the time and location with which they participate in learning. This can include a full schedule of online courses or a mix of online and in-person learning. Most classes are held Monday - Thursday, with extra support available on Fridays.
Thank you for your interest in ORLA's Online Program.
We are still accepting applications for the ORLA online program, although there is a waitlist for most grade levels. Please submit an Olympia School District Transfer request if you are interested in having your student join the online program this semester, and you will be notified if we have an opening.

Program Requirements:
Students are expected to maintain satisfactory progress in each course (70% or higher), or they will be placed on an intervention plan at the end of the month. Parents/caregivers are required to attend these intervention meetings with their students. If a student is not making satisfactory progress for three months in a row, we are required to make a substantial change to the student’s program, which may involve transferring the student back to their neighborhood school.
Students can be enrolled full or part time. ORLA also offers opportunities for students to earn an Olympia School District High School Diploma or the freedom to pursue a homeschool transcript. Most classes are accessed through the student’s Schoology account, and the primary curriculum used by teachers is FlexPoint, although they are supplementing with other resources.
