OREGON VIRTUAL ACADEMY

Oregon Virtual Academy is a public charter school that is part of the North Bend SD 13 school district, located in North Bend, OR with about 1,976 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. Student demographics can be found below. With about 68 teachers, Oregon Virtual Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 29:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Oregon Virtual Academy (ORVA) is a tuition-free, online public charter school serving students in grades K–12 throughout the state of Oregon. Authorized by the North Bend School District, the academy provides a flexible, home-based learning environment that utilizes the Stride K12 curriculum. Because it is a public school, ORVA is accountable to state educational standards while offering families an alternative to the traditional brick-and-mortar classroom experience.

The school is designed for students who thrive outside of a conventional setting, including those who need a personalized pace, advanced learners, or students who require extra academic support. ORVA integrates virtual instruction from state-certified teachers with a robust digital platform, requiring a "Learning Coach"—typically a parent or guardian—to help supervise daily progress and keep students on track. By combining the convenience of remote learning with structured academic oversight, Oregon Virtual Academy aims to provide a comprehensive education that prepares students for college and career readiness.
