School Overview

Hillsboro Online Academy (HOA) is a public, tuition-free alternative school serving students in grades 7 through 12 within the Hillsboro School District in Oregon. Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar schools, HOA utilizes an online learning platform that offers students a flexible, personalized educational environment. This model is designed to support a diverse range of learners, including those who need a self-paced curriculum, students balancing outside responsibilities, or those who simply thrive better in a non-traditional setting.

Despite being an online-based program, the academy emphasizes the importance of community and student support. The school provides access to certified teachers, academic counselors, and mentors who help students stay on track toward graduation. While the coursework is completed remotely, HOA offers opportunities for students to connect through optional on-site support sessions, extracurricular activities, and graduation ceremonies, ensuring that students remain integrated into the broader district culture while enjoying the autonomy of a digital education.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
