100% Online K-12 Academy

Students can communicate with their Academy teachers in 2 ways: through the messaging system and through submission comment boxes built into the curriculum. Please note that teachers have 48 hours to grade an assignment and 24 hours to respond to lesson questions. Subject specialists can be reached by phone between the hours of 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM EST, Monday through Friday.

At LUOA, you arrange the school schedule. You may have your student do all their work in one sitting or space it out over the day. Time spent on the computer will vary depending on your school calendar, the number of subjects that have been assigned, and the student’s understanding of the course material. Generally, a student taking a full course load spread over a 180-day school year (not counting weekends and holidays) will spend 3 to 5 hours a day on the computer.

The admissions process can take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time frame will greatly depend on your enrollment goals, how accessible your child’s records are, and how available your student is to take possible assessment testing. Special approval or unique situations can arise that may add time to the admission process.

LUOA is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and Cognia, which is the parent organization for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI). The Commonwealth of Virginia also recognizes LUOA as a member institution of the Virginia Council for Private Education (VCPE).

Yes, our academic advising team will email progress reports to parents twice per month. However, we encourage parents to actively monitor their student’s work through their parent observer account. Official grade reports are available upon request.
