Parent and Student Testimonials

I am thrilled to share that since my daughter started at Optima, I have seen a remarkable change in her attitude towards school. As a sixth-grader, she has never been so engaged and interested in her studies before. It’s a relief to see her eagerly completing her homework without me having to push her. Optima has truly made learning enjoyable for her, and I couldn’t be happier!

Karla OAO Parent

We enrolled our son at Optima because we were looking for a challenging classical curriculum with location flexibility. He absolutely loves it and we are thrilled with the educational experience and clear, consistent communication. The unique VR opportunities bring the lessons to life and add intrigue for the students.

Dixie Huey OAO Parent

If you are anything like me then you would have researched the living daylights out of a potential school before making the decision to enroll your child. I am extremely picky & looked for a specific combination of qualities in a potential school. I needed a school with a top-notch educational platform, where the teachers genuinely cared about their students. I found it!

My daughter is a kindergartner and is loving every minute. Reasonable class sizes, knowledgeable teachers, active engaged administration, and resources – it’s everything you could want in a school. They utilize tried and true learning principles not standardized testing and scoring and go beyond standard curriculum to ensure kids are well-rounded, responsible citizens.

Kindergarten Parent OAO Parent

This school is fantastic. My children are learning at a far more rapid pace than they did in their neighborhood school. The class size, resource classes, & teaching staff are absolutely stellar. The administration cares about every single child and is intent on providing an atmosphere of personal responsibility, dedication and discipline. I highly recommend this school.

My son just started at OAO this week and we love it so far. He is really engaged with the teachers and the students, it’s really interactive and the virtual reality aspect is so cool. He gets to travel all over the place.  They can go so many places and they are still interacting with all their classmates and teachers, which is awesome.

In a brick-and-mortar school, if you wanted to go to space, you can’t. Brick-and-mortar schools limit more of the learning because you can’t actually see it, but in VR you can pop on your headset and your teacher can put you in any location. I like science because we are learning about rockets, and we can make a rocket IFX and see it go off!

Logan OAO Student

It’s way different (than FLVS)–it’s a 3D experience instead of staring at something that’s 2D, like a computer. I think it’s easier to make friends. People here seem really nice. It’s kind of like a game but it’s also school at the same time. Learning in VR is a better experience. Optima Academy Online engages you way more.

Former FLVS Student OAO Student

When you are at a brick-and-mortar school you sit at a desk usually doing papers and stuff but here we go into VR most of the time or Teams. An IFX is a thing you can put into VR, like a table In my ELA class we read a story and then act it out in IFX. We got to go to the Apollo 1 site and do a science class there. You do fun activities in VR and in Teams.
