We are a free Missouri-based online public school.

Enjoy the flexibility of virtual learning! As long as students login daily for a minimum of 4 hours, your schedule is your own. Teachers offer optional daily live lessons. Students can sign up for teachers’ one-on-one or small group tutoring to review coursework. Or they can make new friends at our student clubs.

We use BrightThinker curriculum, which students access through their student portal. The BrightThinker overview provides information about student navigation, features, and tools available in the app.

We comply with all state attendance laws, which mandate that students complete at least 20 hours of school work a week. Students are expected to log in and complete coursework daily.

For virtual learning, you'll mainly need a computer meeting these system requirements and reliable internet access. All courses and materials are online, requiring skills in web navigation, online meetings, presentation software, document writing, and basic typing. This format promotes independent learning, problem-solving, and adaptability, preparing you for future careers.

You can be you! Students have the flexibility to complete their coursework at their own pace and have access to courses 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Working asynchronously, students school on a daily schedule that fits individual needs.
