Online Learning
Oakridge Online Learning Academy (OOLA)OOLA is an option for students in grades 7-12! See the FAQ below for more information. OOLA affords students these benefits:
- For Oakridge students in grades 7-12 (subject to circumstances and prior approval)
Competency-based advancement – Each student’s progress toward clearly defined goals is continually assessed. A student advances and earns credit as soon as he/she demonstrates mastery.
- Flexible learning environments – Student needs drive the design of the learning environment. All operational elements—staffing plans, space utilization, and time allocation—respond and adapt to support students in achieving their goals.
- Personal learning paths – All students are held to clear, high expectations, but each student follows a customized path that responds and adapts based on his/her individual learning progress, motivations, and goals.
- Learner profiles – Each student has an up-to-date record of his/her individual strengths, needs, motivations, and goals.

- Oakridge extra-curricular programs
- Full access to the Oakridge Teen Health Center
- School-issued electronic learning devices (Chromebooks and iPads)
- Use of school facilities
- Free use of Oakridge counseling services (career & mental health)
