Online Schools What are the differences
The Differences? As many parents struggle to find the right online school / distance learning option for their children, they are struggling to find the right fit.
We are here to help!
With the recent need for online schooling, many public and private schools have opened online learning portals for students. Many of the schools and teachers have not utilized online learning before, so the students have been facing a great deal of challenges, as teachers are learning to use the platform and the sites being used are crashing, as they were not designed to handle the amount of students in need.
The Ogburn School has been providing distance learning / online schooling for over 20 years. So, not only do we have the resources and technical ability to service the students in need, our teachers and advisors are virtual experts at providing assignments, lesson plans, grades and assistance to students in an online format. So, if you are looking for an accredited online school, that can provide the tools necessary for your student to be successful and not fall behind, call us today.

How does The Ogburn School's online program differ from a
traditional school?
The Ogburn School is a 100% online school. So, the student is not
required to attend a physical classroom or encounter any other persons.
Each student will have access to their coursework, via their own online
account, and can devise a schedule that works best for them. Each student
will have access to a full staff of academic advisors and instructors, so
they will also have ongoing support throughout their enrollment, via a
messaging system that is included with each student account. To learn more,
please call (888) 729-6156.
How does The Ogburn School's online program differ from
other private or public online schools?
The Ogburn School is a 100% online school that provides access to all
coursework, online books and online resources to each student, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week. The Ogburn School does not mandate login
hours or login times, thus providing a much more flexible schedule than
most online schools. Where many provided online schools dictate the time
and duration of the student's workday, The Ogburn
School understands the need for flexibility. Students should take
breaks often, to ensure they are not getting burnt out staring at the
computer screen. Other online schools set a schedule that can have the
student at the computer for 8 hours a day, while The Ogburn
School offers complete flexibility. Our curriculum focuses on
academics and not on filler work, and is based on performance, not
attendance. To learn more, please call (888) 729-6156.
How do students interact with teachers, instructors and
advisors in The Ogburn School?
The Ogburn School provides an online messaging center in each
student's online account that allows the student and/or parent to
communicate with our staff. The student can reach out for coursework help,
tips or general updates. The parent can login and view the student's
progress and grades at any time and can also utilize the messaging center
or their personal email to contact The Ogburn School at any
time. Many online schools can take up to 7 business days to reply to a
student or parent, The Ogburn School normally responds with 1
business day. Our goal is to keep the student on track and not lose
momentum. To learn more, please call (888) 729-6156.
Will the completed semesters and/or grade levels transfer
back to my local school?
The Ogburn School is a regionally, nationally and internationally
accredited private school that is recognized in all 50 states and does
support the transferring in and out of credits and completed grade levels.
When you are ready to enroll your student back into their local school or
into any other school, simply let us know. If the account requirements
have been met, the transcripts and/or student records will be made
available to the new school. There should be no problem with the new
school accepting and acknowledging the records, but it is an individual
school decision to accept or deny credits and /or student records.
As a parent, what are my responsibilities?
The Ogburn School has a full staff of advisors and academic
instructors, so we do not ask our parents to become teachers or worry
about grading or record keeping, we will do that. We do ask that our
parents and/or guardians monitor their child's progress, so we can work
together as a team to be sure the kids are staying on track. Also,
devising a basic schedule for your child, will keep them in a bit of a
routine. Each parent should check their local homeschooling rules and
requirements, as each State or District may have required guidelines. To
learn more, please call (888) 729-6156.
