Part-Time Online Learning

Use our search filter to find an online course. Please get written pre-approval from your district before enrolling in & paying for the course. Also, note each district has its own transfer credit policy and makes its own decisions on which courses are acceptable.

Full-Time Online Learning

OSPI approves and monitors programs that offer students regular ongoing online learning. These programs may not be entirely online, and students may be expected to participate in non-online courses. The online courses may also have other requirements including in-person or site-based elements.

Online Learning Advisory Committee

Members of the advisory committee will assist OSPI by providing advice regarding the approval criteria, major components of the website, the model school district policy, model agreements, and other related matters.
