Empowering Learning in the Virtual World
At Hillsboro Online Academy, we are committed to redefining education in the digital age. Our mission is to provide a flexible and innovative K-12 hybrid-online program that nurtures a love for learning and prepares students for success in a dynamic, virtual world.
Our Story
We were established in 2012 as the first online public school in Oregon, with a vision to embrace the potential of online education to meet the ever-changing diverse learning needs of students. Hillsboro Online Academy has been a pioneer in delivering high-quality virtual and hybrid learning experiences.
Educational Philosophy
At the core of our academy is a dedication to fostering a positive and engaging learning environment. We believe in the power of personalized education, where students can thrive academically and develop essential skills for the future. We are committed to giving our students a safe learning environment with more access to 1:1 teacher support, while still offering social opportunities online and in-person.
Hybrid Learning Model
Recognizing the importance of a well-rounded education, our hybrid learning model seamlessly blends virtual and in-person elements. This unique approach allows students to benefit from the flexibility of online learning while enjoying the advantages of face-to-face interactions. Our K-6 students have the opportunity to come in person on Mondays and Wednesdays for STEM, Art, Music, PE and classroom lessons. Our 9-12 students have multiple opportunities throughout the week to come in person and work 1:1 with their core teachers during drop-in hours. At each grade level we offer various clubs and “Social” times online and in person throughout the month that include fun, food and games.
Student Support
Personalized Support Services: We understand that each student is unique. Our program provides a Wellness Support Counselor, two Academic Counselors, Graduation Coach, Hispanic Family Liaison, Special Education case managers and an ELD teacher. We strive to ensure that every student receives the attention they need to succeed.

Hillsboro School District students may enroll in Hillsboro Online Academy as a full-time student, or as a concurrent student while enrolled in a comprehensive district high school.
