Ohio Connections Academy (OCA) is a tuition-free, public online charter school serving students in grades K–12 across the state of Ohio. Designed as a flexible alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar classrooms, the school allows students to learn from home while following a state-certified curriculum. The program is facilitated by Ohio-certified teachers who provide instruction, support, and guidance through a combination of live virtual classroom sessions and independent coursework.

The school emphasizes a personalized approach to education, partnering with students and their families to develop learning plans that cater to individual needs and academic goals. Because it operates in a virtual environment, OCA is often sought out by students who require greater scheduling flexibility, such as those pursuing extracurricular activities, students who thrive in a self-paced setting, or families looking for a specialized learning atmosphere outside of a conventional school building. As part of the national Connections Academy network, the school combines high-tech digital tools with comprehensive academic resources to maintain state educational standards.
