Ohio Distance & Electronic Learning Academy - OHDELA

Ohio Distance & Electronic Learning Academy (OHDELA) is a tuition-free, full-time online public school serving K-12 students across Ohio. The academy is specifically designed to empower learners who thrive in flexible environments, including students with language-based learning disabilities and twice-exceptional (2e) learners. By providing a virtual setting, OHDELA offers a way for students to access high-quality education while managing the unique sensory or academic needs that a traditional classroom might not accommodate.

The school utilizes an interactive online curriculum led by Ohio state-licensed teachers, featuring live classes and individualized learning plans. OHDELA focuses on personalized attention through low student-teacher ratios and a tiered support model that integrates social-emotional learning. The academy is equipped to support specialized needs through programs including Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), developmental support, and therapeutic services, ensuring each student's academic and personal growth is nurtured.

Beyond the digital classroom, OHDELA fosters a sense of belonging through strong family partnerships, unique community events, and in-person field trips. This combination of flexible online learning and physical community engagement provides a safe, engaging environment for students to flourish both academically and socially.
