What is virtual public school? And why is it so important?

Simply put, virtual public school is exactly what it sounds like — publicly funded schools that are entirely online.

Not to be confused with homeschooling, virtual public schools follow state-regulated curricula and have state-licensed teachers.

Oregon families rely on virtual public schools for education for many reasons. For some, this school choice allows students to have a more flexible schedule and provides a more tailored, family-originated educational experience. For others, it's a solution for families dealing with health issues, bullying, and learning disabilities.

Whatever the reason, many families need this educational option for their children. At Oregon Virtual Public Schools Alliance, we are here to ensure that our elected officials understand the importance of this school choice and advocate for continued funding.
