ORLA Online K-12 Information
The ORLA Online program provides opportunities for students to complete a large portion of their school work remotely. The program structure varies based on the grade band and student needs. For the 2025-2026 school year, ORLA Online will offer the following opportunities:
K-5 ORLA Online:
Asynchronous learning opportunities in English, History, Science, and Math where the parent/caregiver is the primary instructor, and the teacher provides support. There will NOT be synchronous zoom instruction offered for each course, but students will be required to have weekly interaction with the teacher through zoom or on-site time. Students/families may select one or more courses, and may combine their online experience with an in-person experience at ORLA.
6-8 ORLA Online:
Asynchronous learning opportunities in English, History, Science, Math, Art, PE, and Health. Students should be self-directed, motivated learners, as each course will require about five hours a week of work at home. There is NOT synchronous zoom instruction offered for these courses, but students are required to participate in weekly zoom meetings, with their cameras on, and on-site assistance is available. The curriculum used for this program is primarily Edgenuity.
9-12 ORLA Online:
Students who take three or more high school courses through our online program will have ORLA designated as their primary school, and their core classes will have weekly synchronous zooms. Students must attend their zoom classes with cameras on, and be active participants. The curriculum is a combination of work in Schoology and in Edgenuity. All students are required to come to campus at least an hour a week for in person support, and more time may be required if a student is not passing all of their classes at the monthly progress check.
9-12 ORLA iConnect:
Students who are primarily enrolled at Capital High School, Olympia High School, or ORLA Diploma Track High School may take one or two asynchronous Edgenuity course to earn initial credit, or as credit recovery. For Capital and OHS students, you need to request these courses through your counselor. For ORLA students, please contact your Advisor or Assistant Principal Anderson to request a course. Students will be required to have weekly contact with an ORLA teacher if they are taking an Edgenuity class through us, and will be dropped from the
program if they go three weeks without contact.
If you are interested in enrolling your student in an online option at ORLA next year, your first step is to attend a Zoom information meeting.

Program Requirements
Students are expected to maintain satisfactory progress in each course (70% or higher), or they will be placed on an intervention plan at the end of the month. Parents/caregivers are required to attend these intervention meetings with their students. If a student is not making satisfactory progress for three months in a row, we are required to make a substantial change to the student’s program, which may involve transferring the student back to their neighborhood school.
Students can be enrolled full or part time. ORLA also offers opportunities for students to earn an Olympia School District High School Diploma or the freedom to pursue a homeschool transcript. Most classes are accessed through the student’s Schoology account, and the primary curriculum used by teachers is FlexPoint, although they are supplementing with other resources.
