"OAO is hands down the best school my son has ever attended. In its second year utilizing Virtual Reality, OAO has completely transformed my son’s educational experience for the better. Compared to his previous school, which he dreaded attending, OAO is like night and day. My son actually looks forward to school now, which is a testament to the incredible environment OAO provides. At first, there was a bit of an adjustment period, especially with the more challenging curriculum. I must admit, I was concerned about my son’s grades during the first quarter, and I voiced my concerns about the difficulty of the subjects. However, the school assured me that their curriculum is designed to challenge students who are capable, and they were right. With the support of the amazing teachers and accommodations such as tutoring and asynchronous times, my son made a remarkable comeback in the second quarter, achieving all As and Bs for the first time since the first grade. ($50 bribe was money well spent) I cannot praise the teachers at OAO enough. They are truly dedicated professionals who go above and beyond to ensure their students succeed. OAO is truly the most innovative school in today’s world, utilizing Virtual Reality to enhance learning experiences and providing a challenging yet supportive environment for students to thrive. Without a doubt, OAO deserves a solid 5-star rating for being the best teachers and the greatest innovative school out there. This school has been, hands down, the best decision I ever made for my son. Words alone cannot express my gratitude to the teachers and staff, but ‘thank you’ will have to suffice. So, thank you!"

"I remember the day the OAO post came through my Facebook feed last year. I thought, this is too good to be true. However, I had just ended my first, only and worst year dealing with a public school. I decided to apply, and I am glad I did. My son now engages without wondering if he will be penalized for being himself, and it is true that situations and challenges still came during the year. I can't express enough my grattite for the support, encouragement, motivation given to him by the teachers and counselors (He loves his counselors). The teachers do not skip an opportunity to share great days, and support the students on the no so good ones. I can't wait for what the new school year brings with all the improvements an new opportunities. Blessed to be part of the OAO family."

"My daughter Adrianna and us her mom love OAO it’s the Best School she loves all her teachers and I made the best decision to enroll her here keep up the amazing job this is definitely a new adventure place to see everyday and learning at the same time"

"Optima Academy Online has been an amazing experience for my son. I have seen him grow both personally and academically this school year. He loves learning in V.R., and the teachers are very caring and engaging. I am thankful for OAO!"

"I can’t say enough good about this school and how it has turned my son's education around. My third-grade son didn’t fit well in traditional schools. We’ve tried lots of different kinds, but it always ended up the same. He would have crying fits and meltdowns when he realized it was a school day or the night before he had to go. I stumbled upon Optima via the news or newspaper. We applied, were excepted, and the school is amazing. Everyone is so helpful and so supportive, the teachers are so supportive, you would think being an online, virtual school you’d be cut off from any help, but that’s not the case at all. Teachers keep office hours like college professors so I can always reach out to them and my son can get extra help when he’s struggling. The virtual reality segment is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen; my son loves it. I believe all the kids love it and it is such a neat and efficient way to educate, our kids. I believe my son has made more progress academically this year than he has in all of his short academic career. I work from home, so it works in my schedule perfectly, and being a Florida resident it doesn’t cost us anything, the school even supplied the VR headset. That’s another thing, anytime there were technical issues tech-support was readily available. I’m just amazed, they thought of everything. I honestly had no idea how it was going to work or if it was going to work but I am so happy with my son's success and I’m excited to see what next year holds. Thank you OAO for giving my son a better chance of succeeding."
